Top doctors’ body warns crowded tourist destinations and pilgrimages could become ‘super spreaders’ for a third wave.
India has reported 2,020 new COVID-19 deaths in the last 24 hours, data from the health ministry shows, as the country’s top doctors’ body warns of an imminent third wave of the pandemic. While deaths were high due to the central state of Madhya Pradesh revising its toll, the daily infections reported on Tuesday were 32,906, the lowest in nearly four months. On Monday, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) warned against opening the country’s tourist destinations and allowing pilgrimage travel, saying they could act as “super spreaders” of a third wave of infections.More Related News
