The Director of Delhi AIIMS said the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is not yet over. AIIMS Dr. Randeep Guleria on Friday also talked about the estimated third wave and said that it will depend on the COVID-appropriate behavior by the people.

Dr. Guleria said "I would suggest that people should understand that the second wave of the pandemic is not over yet. Daily, we are getting more than 40,000 cases. It is important for everyone to follow COVID-appropriate behavior. If we follow this, then another wave will not come," talking to ANI. In April, the coronavirus second wave hit India leading the country to record four lakh fresh infections daily. In this period the death toll mounts an all-time high. The deadly wave, however, started receding in mid-May even as some experts warned of a subsequent wave in August-September. The AIIMS director believes that the impact of the next wave can be diminished with COVID-appropriate behavior. Dr. Guleria briefed about the estimated wave at a function while inaugurating a CISF-organised blood donation camp under the `Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav` initiative to mark the 75 years of India`s independence.

Earlier, Dr. Guleria predicted the third wave of COVID-19 might hit the country around mid-August, saying it may peak in October depending on the type of the virus variant. While, in an interview with a news agency, Gagandeep Kang, a top Indian microbiologist and virologist said that the third wave depends on the type of virus` variants or strains. She also said that if the wave is driven by strain then the number of cases will be below.
