Peak of third wave of Covid may come in India in February - Report

After the appearance of the Omicron variant, a new wave of Covid is being feared in many countries of the world. The fear of a third wave is being seen after Omicron reported more than 20 cases in India. IIT Scientist, Manindra Agarwal says that the third wave in India may be at its peak in February.

Manindra Agarwal, IIT Scientist involved in the mathematical projection of the trajectory of COVID-19, said, “With the new variants, our current prediction is that the country may see a third wave by February, but it will be milder than the second wave. So far we have seen that the severity of Omicron is not the same as that of the Delta variant.

Agarwal said that he is keeping an eye on South Africa, where the first case of this variant was reported. South Africa has not yet seen a boom in hospitalizations. He said that the new data on virus and hospitalization figures will help in getting a clearer picture.
