Mumbai: There is a lean possibility of the third mega covid wave in Maharashtra, but the state government will increase its covid infrastructure to ‘1.5 times’ the second wave number, said a senior state health official.
“If a district, for example, has 100 patients during the second wave, we are in the midst of organizing the bed and infrastructure for 150 patients in the district,” said the State Supervision Officer Dr.
Pradeep calmed.
The second wave was caused by the Delta variant of the virus SARS-COV-2 caused by Covid, who was first discovered in Maharashtra at the beginning of the year.
“In the US and Britain, the third wave is underway due to the Delta variant, but many in Maharashtra and India have developed their immunity.
So, the third wave opportunity is due to low delta, “said Dr.
Sigh.
Experts say the third wave will be very large if the new variant appears with a high transmission of the Delta variant.
“However, there is no indication of a recent genome supervision report that the Delta-like variant will occur,” said the head of the state government epidemiology.
The second wave was controlled, with a test level of test in all districts below 5% over the past five weeks.
“However, from the experience of H1N1, we know it takes several years for disease to be endemic.
There is no way to predict when exactly the Covid-19 pandemic will be reduced to the endemic level, “he said.
The State Public Ministry of Health, along with district administrative officials, prepares a detailed plan to overcome the possible third wave.
