Scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology, (IIT) Hyderabad and Kanpur have made this estimate on the basis of mathematical models. Mathukumali Vidyasagar of IIT Hyderabad and Maninder Agarwal of IIT Kanpur says that the third wave will intensify in August.

It is estimated that one lakh cases of infection can be reported daily in better conditions while 1.5 lakh cases can be reported daily in worse conditions. With the increasing cases of infection in Kerala and Maharashtra, the situation may worsen in other states as well.

Relief, this wave will not be fatal.

46 districts of ten states are important

The Center has also started preparations to deal with the situation. The infection rate is more than 10% in 46 districts of ten states including Maharashtra, Kerala. Similarly, 54 districts have between five and 10%. These 100 districts can play an important role in accelerating the third wave, which needs to be monitored.
