As people grow more concerned about coronavirus and the third wave after looking at the impact of second-wave, there comes good news as the doctor tells that the 3rd wave of coronavirus might hit the country late in the year and we will have more time to vaccinate people across the country.
Dr NK Arora, the chief of the Centre’s Covid-19 working group, on Sunday said that the third wave of coronavirus could be delayed until December this year. “ICMR has come up with a study, which says the third wave will come late in the country,” Dr Arora said.
“We have a window period of 6 to 8 months to vaccinate everybody in the country,” the chairman of the central panel said.
He also said that in the coming days, the government’s target is to administer one crore Covid-19 vaccine doses every day in India.
The Delta Plus new variant of Covid-19, which has created fresh concerns across the country, cannot be yet linked to a third wave of the pandemic, Dr Arora has said.
However, he asserted that as variants are linked to new waves, the possibility can’t be dismissed at all. “Waves are linked to new variants or new mutations so there is a possibility as this is a new variant, but whether it will lead to a third wave it is difficult to answer as it will depend upon two or three things,” Arora told news agency.
