New Delhi: The country has experienced the third wave of coronavirus and more than 40 per cent of the cases are reported daily as compared to yesterday. Meanwhile, financial services firm Nomura has released an estimate that is worrying. Comparing the US trend, the firm said that if India sees a similar growth, up to 3million new corona patients can be found every day.
According to estimates, if this happens, there will be a lot of pressure on the health infrastructure of the country. If there is a trend like S. Africa, the number of new cases per day could be up to 740,000. IIT Kanpur Professor Mahendra Agarwal has also reported that 4 to 8 lakh new cases will be reported in the country during the third wave peak. Nomura has warned that India's economic growth may weaken due to the third wave, which has just begun to improve. Not only this, inflation may also increase, which can be tackled by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to increase the repo rate.
Nomura has estimated that only 45 per cent of the population in countries like India, Philippines and Indonesia has been vaccinated. There is a risk of the rapid spread of infection and this may increase the pressure on hospitals. Two consecutive days in the country, the figure for new corona cases is going beyond 1 lakh.
