Massive surge in COVID cases indicative of third wave in India, like in other countries: Expert

India TV News  

Highlights Omicron is being detected in most of the states in the country, the expert said He said over 80 per cent of the people in the country have been infected with the virus naturally The expert, however, said that there is no need to press the panic button The massive surge in the number of covid cases in India since the last week is indicative of a third wave of the pandemic, Dr. NK Arora, the chairman of the COVID-19 working group of the NTAGI said on Tuesday. Noting that in the major metro centres and the surrounding regions, the new variant of the virus is accounting for over 50 per cent of the fresh cases, Arora said, "The galloping increase in the number of Covid cases over the last one week is indicative of the third wave, as is being seen in several other countries across the globe." "If we look at the behaviour of the Omicron wave in South Africa, where it rapidly increased, in two weeks, the number of cases started coming down and most of the cases were either asymptomatic or had a mild illness, along with the decoupling of the total number of Covid cases vis-a-vis those requiring hospitalisation. Looking at the behaviour of the Covid infection in the last seven to 10 days in India, I feel that we may be in for a third wave peak very soon," he said.
