State witnessing severe, intense second wave
The Hindu
18,257 test positive, making it highest-ever daily spike
Kerala is likely to see many of its prior records fall, as the second wave of COVID-19 tears through the State. As the results of the augmented mass testing drive is beginning to come in, daily spike in new cases is seeing a dramatic increase, a sign of the immense challenges that the health system may be up against in the coming weeks. With the State’s population remaining naive (the sero prevalence in January being just 10.8%), the second wave is likely to be intense and prolonged.More Related News
