By MYBRANDBOOK
Raising the alarm bells for policymakers and citizens, A report by SBI Research report has said that the third Covid wave may hit India in August 2021, which is likely to peak in September. The report came from the State Bank of India (SBI) while the country is still fighting with the second wave.
Going by the current data, India can experience daily COVID-19 cases around 10,000 somewhere around the second week of July. However, the cases can start rising by the second fortnight of August with peak cases at least a month later," SBI’s Group Chief Economic Adviser, Soumya Kanti Ghosh, said in the report.
The SBI Research, stated that vaccination is the only saviour as global data shows that, on an average, the third wave peak cases are around 1.7 times the peak cases at the time of second wave of the pandemic.
The panel was formed by the Department of Science and Technology in 2020 to forecast the surge of coronavirus cases using mathematical models.
The SBI report comes days after a scientist of a government panel tasked with modelling COVID-19 cases said that the possible third wave of coronavirus pandemic infection can hit its peak between October-November if COVID-appropriate behaviour is not followed.
