Too early to heave a sigh of relief: Experts

TAC to review district-wise TPR and distribution of Delta cases

Although there has been a marked slowdown in the new COVID-19 cases reported daily, experts said it is too early to heave a sigh of relief. Threat of a third wave still looms and the next six weeks are crucial, experts said. Cautioning against lowering the guard, COVID-19 experts said people’s behaviour in the next six weeks will predict the outcome of the third wave. M.K. Sudarshan, who heads the State’s COVID-19 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), said with the State reporting around 2,000 new cases daily, it cannot be said that the second wave had subsided as yet.
