Beginning of third wave of COVID, says DPH
The Hindu
Next two to four weeks are crucial for the public to stay safe
In line with the surge in COVID-19 cases at the national level, there has been a marginal increase in cases in the State too in the last couple of days and the next two to four weeks are crucial for the public to stay safe.
The State government expects spike in cases five times or more but it is fully geared to meet the challenge, said Director of Public Health G. Srinivasa Rao.
He told a media conference that the current spell was the beginning of the third wave of COVID-19 pandemic, which could see high levels of hospitalisation of people. The two to four weeks when COVID-19 could take deep roots will also hopefully mark the end of the pandemic with minimal damage.
