3rd wave possible if vaccination not ramped up, COVID norms not followed: Scientist New Delhi : If the vaccination drive against coronavirus is not ramped up and COVID-19 appropriate-behaviour is not maintained, there is a possibility of a third wave of the pandemic in 6-8 months, said M Vidyasagar, a scientist involved in the Sutra Model which uses mathematics to project the trajectory of COVID-19. He, however, stressed the Sutra Model has not predicted any third wave and it is working on it. The Indian Institutes of Technology-Hyderabad professor cited a paper by Italian researchers on infe...

Explained: Will India witness a 'dreaded' third wave after its Covid tsunami? SECTIONS Last Updated: May 20, 2021, 09:37 PM IST Share Synopsis Top scientists and certain ministers have been raising alarm about the "inevitable" third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic for the last few weeks. The warnings are strongly emphasized this time considering that the nation was caught off-guard by the second wave which brought the entire healthcare system to its knees. Agencies Typically, the virus is expected to get weaker with the subsequent waves due to factors like widespread immunity and weakened mutat...

According to a three-member panel of scientists set up by the central government, India’s second wave of Covid-19 will decline by July this year. A third wave can be expected after six to eight months.

"If the antibodies are lost, then there is a chance of immunity going down. In this case, vaccination has to be ramped up and COVID-19 appropriate-behaviour must be practiced. If not then there is a possibility of a third wave in 6-8 months," M Vidyasagar, a scientist involved in the Sutra Model which uses mathematics to project the trajectory of COVID-19, said.
