The peak of the third wave of Corona is near : IIT Madras

The peak of the third wave of corona in the country will come in 14 days. IIT Madras has claimed this in its study. It has been said that the cases of corona will reach the peak by February 6 i.e. in 2 weeks. The main reason for the third wave is believed to be the Omicron variant of Corona.

According to the study, the R value, which tells the rate of spread of corona infection in India, has decreased from 2.2 to 1.57 between January 14 and January 21. In such a situation, the third wave is expected to reach its peak in the next 15 days.

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) recorded an R value of 1.57 between January 14 and 21. It was 2.2 between January 7 and 13. Between January 1 and 6 it was at 4. Last year between December 25 and 31, the R value was close to 2.9. All these analysis have been done by IIT on the basis of computational modelling.
