Covid Second Wave Not Over, Govt Warns People Against Violating Norms

According to the report, Lav Agarwal, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare stated that India is still dealing with the second wave and they need to introspect if we can afford the misplaced belief that COVID-19 is over. He also stated that the United Kingdom witnessed an increase in the average daily new cases after Euro 2020 football matches.

He further added that Bangladesh has seen more new coronavirus cases during the third wave as compared to the second wave, which has also led to the government imposing a national lockdown.

Dr VK Paul, Member (Health), NITI Aayog stated that lowering the guard has resulted in the recent surge in COVID-19 cases. The decline in Covid-19 cases is a positive trend, following COVID Appropriate Behaviour is crucial to stop another wave.
