New Delhi: Beware 4th wave may be knocking on our door’. As new delhi is becoming the new covid-19 epicentre. Experts are hinting that recent surge of number of cases in delhi has become a become matter of grave concern as several states have ditched the mask mandate and other precuationary measures.
A 4th wave may be right at the corner if we do not take any action from now so Beware and don’t be complacent!
China is already witnessing a horrific fourth wave. The rises cases are also because of migration of a lot of refugees from a mwar torn country like ukraine, cases are also increasing drastically in country like UK, Germany, China, South Korea.
The likely transmitters in New Delhi are over 25,000 returnees from Ukraine and eastern Europe during the evacuation exercise and further transmission through children returning to schools,” said a professor of global health at the University of Washington-Seattle and advisor to WHO-TDR-Geneva.
Also Ukraine was alreasy high in covid19 infection so the possibility of the refugees been a carrier of the virus cannot be ruled out.
Looking at the symptoms comprising sore throat, respiratory distress, pneumonia, diarrhoea, and fatigue, experts speculate that the fourth wave could be caused by recombinant Deltacron or Omicron BA.2. If that be so, the clearance time of recombinant Deltacron from the human body can be longer for months and years,
“If we see daily new cases of a few Indian cities in graphical form, we will understand that there is a slow decrease in Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune. In Mumbai, the condition is stable. But if you see in Delhi cases are now increasing slowly. We have to find out why there is a slow increase of cases in Delhi and also how many patients are having serious symptoms,” said Dr Santosh HOD Emergency Medicine, Wockhardt Hospitals.
A doctor also insisted that people should follow covid appropriate behaviour like wearing of mask and social distancing. due to festive season people have complety forgotten as if there was any virus.
The sudden spike in Covid cases in New Delhi and neighbouring states should serve as a warning to citizens staying in major metros like Mumbai. The cause of this is probably the emergence of newer variants. Diligent use of a mask in public places with a continuation of Covid appropriate behaviour is the best way to protect ourselves as today delhi reported 517 covid-19 infections.
