India may see second wave of COVID-19 outbreak in monsoon, say scientists

India TV News  

The trajectory of COVID-19 cases could have plateaued and might even fall for some weeks after the lockdown is lifted but India is likely to see a second wave in late July or August with a surge in the number of cases during the monsoon, say scientists. “Still, we may get a surge of new cases of the same coronavirus and this will be considered a second wave,” Bhattacharya explained. The second epidemic may come back in late July or August in the monsoon, although the peak timing will depend on how we control social distancing during that time, he said. “Until the vaccine comes on the market, we have to remain alert… Once sporadic cases occur here and there in the country, we immediately need to implement quarantine or social distancing locally for the people in that region, and also need to perform tests to identify positive cases irrespective of showing symptoms,” Bhattacharya explained.
