Covid-19 fourth wave may reach its peak in August: IIT Kanpur researchers

The threat of the Coronavirus pandemic is not over yet. Fourth wave is likely to hit India in June.

Researchers from IIT Kanpur said, “the fourth wave of COVID-19 in India may start around 22 June and continue till 24 October. This time the symptoms of corona may be slightly different.”

The threat of the Coronavirus pandemic is not over yet. Of course, new daily cases of corona are decreasing but the virus is not completely eradicated yet. There was just some respite from the Omicron variant, the deadliest form of corona so far, that researchers have predicted that the country may soon get the fourth wave of COVID-19.

In a study published on Medrxiv, researchers from IIT Kanpur said, “the fourth wave of corona in India may start around 22 June and continue till 24 October.” They have said that if the fourth wave of COVID-19 emerges, it could last for at least four months. 

The wave may reach its peak from August 15 to August 31 and decrease after that. This is the third time that researchers from IIT Kanpur have developed a COVID-19 virus in the country.

At this time how deadly the fourth wave will be, researchers said that its severity will depend on the variant and vaccination of the corona.
