AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria told that India may see the third wave of COVID-19 in September-October 202. He also said that the possibility is that the third wave might be less destructive than the second wave.
The reason behind this is that two-thirds of the Indian population has been vaccinated, which has been clarified by the Indian Council of Medical Research’s 4th round of national serosurvey.
The AIIMS Director also gave the statement that he does not believe that the third wave will disproportionately affect the children and make severe infection.
