“If India is not safe, I can tell you the world is not safe.”
The second wave of COVID-19 has hit India "like a tsunami", Biocon founder Kiran Mazumdar Shaw has said, attributing the unprecedented spike in coronavirus cases to the recent state elections and religious festivals in the country. India is struggling with a second wave of the pandemic with more than 3,00,000 daily new coronavirus cases being reported in the past few days, and hospitals are reeling under a shortage of medical oxygen and beds. “This time around the second wave has hit like a tsunami. And the unfortunate part is it has not spared any part of our country,” Ms. Mazumdar said during a virtual panel discussion on global vaccine equity organised by One Share World.
