WILL WE WITNESS ANOTHER WAVE OF CORONAVIRUS?

New Delhi: Is the Covid-19 pandemic over or there is still a possibility of its return? Now less than 10,000 new cases are being recorded in India every day and the death toll due to infection has also come down significantly.

Despite this, a study has been done by IIT Kanpur, according to which the Covid-19 pandemic may spike again. According to this study, the fourth wave of Covid-19 may start around June 22 and peak from mid to late August.

If it comes, then its effect will be there for the next two months. Keep in mind that the third wave was not very deadly. It was definitely contagious but not many people died in it.

This was because the Omicron variant that caused the third wave was not lethal. But it can’t be said that if any next wave comes, it will be similarly less lethal.

Situation can also be like the second wave. It depends on the variant and its potency. If a new variant comes, it can be dangerous too. According to the study by IIT Kanpur, the nature of the variant and the status of vaccination will ascertain how the fourth wave will behave.

Keep in mind that when the world is considering the virus to be over, it has caused havoc in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, under the zero covid policy, everyone has got the vaccine.

Despite this, there has been an epidemic of corona and the administration there is preparing for a very strict lockdown like China. Therefore, it can be dangerous to consider that the Covid-19 pandemic is over as of now.
