‘Too early to say if it can be called another wave’
The Hindu
Regarding the current rise in virus cases, experts said it is too early to say if it can be called another wave of COVID-19 in the city. They cited two main reasons behind the rise — people not following social distancing and not wearing masks.
Delhi government officials said they have not found too many clusters of cases. “The cases are scattered. There are cases where multiple people from the same house test positive but not large clusters outside it,” said an official. “The current surge in cases is not just seen in Delhi, but across the country. There are mutations to the virus and people who were not infected before are getting infected. There are no large-scale reports of reinfection, which shows that the mutated virus is not infecting people who already had the disease,” said Jugal Kishore, head of community medicine department of Safdarjung Hospital.Stop Congress leaders from calling for discontinuation of guarantee schemes: MLC writes to CM, Dy.CM
