New Delhi: For the safety of people across the country, AIIMS director Randeep Guleria said that India might not see the third wave of coronavirus but it largely depends on people following Covid norms. "I don't think that we will see a third wave which will be as bad as the second wave", Guleria, a renowned pulmonologist said after receiving the Gitam Foundation Day Award that carried Rs 10 lakh.

Meanwhile, when asked about the fears that the possible third wave could infect children more, the AIIMS chief said that children would be 'more susceptive' because they were not being vaccinated. "The general feeling is that adults are getting vaccinated, children are not being vaccinated and therefore if there is a new wave it will affect those who are more susceptible. Children will be more susceptible," he noted. Guleria, however, radiated confidence that in another month or two there would be Covid vaccine for children as well.
