COVID-19 Third Wave Expected In 6 To 8 Weeks Says AIIMS Chief Dr Randeep Guleria

AIIMS chief Dr Randeep Guleria informed that India is certain to face the inevitable third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the next six to eight weeks in view of unlocking in various states after weeks of strict restrictions.

According to the report, Dr Randeep Guleria stated that now that the unlocking process is going on there is again a lack of Covid-appropriate behaviour. He stated that India don’t seem to have learnt from what happened between the first and the second wave. Now, again crowds are building and people are gathering. It will take some time for the number of cases to start rising at the national level. But it could happen within next six to eight weeks or may be a little longer.

A raging second wave of the pandemic saw India scream for the shortage of hospital beds and oxygen supplies in different parts of the country. The scarcity caught the attention of the whole world and several countries came forward with assistance.

Restrictions in the movement were imposed in most of the states, which are slowly unlocking in view of a dip in the number of infections.
