Dismissing the possibilities of the third wave of Covid-19 in the country, scientists of AIIMS and ICMR said that if we look at the data of the last 45 days, there is a rapid increase in vaccination, we are close to touching the magic figure of one billion.
The pace of testing is also fast, but despite all this, there is a rapid decrease in the death rate, infection rate, in some states including Delhi, the death rate figures are being recorded at zero rates. The month of October has passed more than half, we can see November as the carrier but we claim that now there is no sign of the third wave of the corona at the moment.
According to Dr. Randeep Guleria, Director of AIIMS, till mid-October, genome sequencing and other studies showed that there is no indication of mutation of the virus and no new form has emerged.
Nevertheless, we have requested the government and citizens to fully comply with the COVID rules by February next year. It is expected that by that time, more than 85 percent of people would have got the corona vaccine. Dr. V Ravi, the nodal officer for genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2, says that the study shows that corona infection is limited to the delta variant. Most people have been vaccinated and the virus has been weakened. The possibility of its mutation is also reduced.
National Institute of Virology scientist Dr. HS Kar said that new variants like MU and C. 1.2, limited to South America and South Africa, are not likely to come to India. Dr. Ravi said that even if a new variant comes, it will not be as deadly as Delta and Delta Plus. This variant was the cause of the second wave.
