The head of India’s pandemic task force has again warned that the second wave of Covid-19 is not over yet, and that cases can explode if people continue to behave recklessly.
Dr V K Paul pointed to reports and pictures of blatant violations of social distancing norms coming from tourist spots and said the virus could once again take the “upper hand” if the current situation did not change.
Responding to a question on above 40,000 the daily new cases still being reported, he said India needed to achieve a “baseline” of 10,000 cases for at least three consecutive weeks before it could be said that the situation was under control
