End of the pandemic: Covid 19 to become endemic in India

Vaccinologist Dr Gagandeep Kang said that local flare ups that will be smaller and spread wider across the country may add up to form a third wave of the pandemic,but the scale will not be like before.

An outbreak is a rise in disease cases over what is normally expected in a small and specific location generally over a short period of time .Epidemics are essentially outbreaks without the tight geographical restrictions. A pandemic is an epidemic that spread across many countries and many continents around the world.The word "endemic" comes from the Greek endemos, which means" in population".

Scientists predict COVID will become endemic over time but there will still be sporadic outbreaks where it gets out of control. The transition from pandemic to endemic will likely play out differently in different locations around the world.

Sujjet Singh, director of the National Centre For Disease Control( NCDC), said In the next six month ,we will approach endemic status

Dr Singh said that the Covid will become more manageable
