Third wave of Covid-19 looms may peak in October, warns NIDM

The National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM) warned of the third wave of COVID-19 inching closer. In a recent report submitted to the Prime Minister's Office, NIDM stated that the third Covid wave might peak in October. A committee of experts under the panel has demanded better medical preparedness especially for children who might be at risk just as much as adults this time. Meanwhile, Directors of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) across the country have asked people to continue following Covid appropriate behaviour to avoid any possible spike in the daily caseload.
