Goa: The third wave is unavoidable, but vaccination coverage will blunt it, say experts

Panaji: Even when the case seems to have a plateau in Goa for now, experts say that the third wave cannot be avoided, but not sure of the impact.
Saying that vaccination will help blunt the impact of the waves, they also emphasize people should not let their guard down, and that the state should also not take incidents that can cause crowding.
“Otherwise, also, September is the month we witnessed the increase in flu cases,” said the Epidemiology of the State Dr.
Utkarsh Betodkar.
“If the normal flu case rises, Covid-19 infection will also, to some extent.” We keep track of cases and maybe see this third wave or next month, even though we are currently in the highlands.
“By stating that the third wave was” unavoidable “, Dr.
Anil Mehndiratta’s chest specialist said that vaccination must be accelerated to cover a larger part of the population to reduce the severity of the disease.
This, he said, would ensure fewer ICU revenues and less death.
On Friday, more than seven lakh people were vaccinated with the first dose, and more than 2.88 lakh was fully vaccinated.
During the second wave peak in May, Goa reported 66,000 cases and 1,481 mortality.
“We need to set up central oxygen facilities in most Hospitals to reduce the burden at the Tertiary Care Hospital, “said Mehndiratta.
The leading pathologist Dr.
Eugene D’Souza said that the state could level the third wave curve but preventive health measures were key, rather than focusing on the dominant task force.” Government need to involve more experts in preventive social medicines and epidemiology.
We need a genome sequencing done in Goa to identify a variant that is a preliminary concern, “he said.
Goa has not received the results of samples sent to the genome sequencing to the Outstation Laboratory for more.
The state sends a sample every 15 days.
Until the first week of last month, the Directorate of Service last month Health received results around 120 samples – from those sent from the start of the second wave in March-April – with 109 showing delta tensions that cause the second wave that caused the second wave.
“Delta-plus is a triple mutation.
Most likely, it won’t cause a lot of damage.
That’s why where the Delta-Plus variant has been found so far, we haven’t seen an increase in case.
It has been detected in around 15 states, “said Betodkar.
D’Souza said that tracing active contacts to identify the super-spreader and micro management zones to limit the spread, and increase the RT-PCR test ratio for stronger border supervision and testing Helps blunt the third wave impact.
