Srinagar, Apr 07:Â With Kashmir valley facing the second wave of Covid-19, Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) on Wednesday warned that the new wave could be worse than the first.
âSecond waves of pandemics have been harsher,â said DAK President and influenza expert Dr Nisar ul Hassan.
âWe have witnessed in the past how the second wave of 1918 Spanish flu pandemic was deadlier than the first one. The first wave occurred in the spring which was relatively mild. A far deadlier second wave erupted in the fall months which infected 500 million and killed 50 million people globally.â
SRINAGAR: Expressing concern over the laidback attitude of people of Jammu and Kashmir in dealing with the 2nd wave of Corona Virus pandemic the Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) today said that “people are not following Covid appropriate behaviour and health advisories issued by experts in this regard”.
President DAK, Dr Suhail Naik said, that “people in Kashmir region have stopped taking the precautionary measures seriously which may be disastrous.”
He further said, “the same may become a huge problem in the valley in view of 2nd wave and with evidence of rising in coronavirus deaths and positive cases in Jammu & Kashmir.”
