COVID, July 12:<\/strong> A third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is “inevitable<\/strong>” and “imminent<\/strong>“, the Indian Medical Association (IMA<\/a><\/span>) said on Monday. The top doctors’ body also warned the state governments against allowing potential “super-spreader<\/strong>” events.<\/p>\n

IMA specifically marked its concern over-tourism activities, pilgrimages, and other forms of mass congregations that have been permitted in a number of states amid the declining coronavirus second wave.<\/p>\n

“With the global evidence available and the history of any pandemic, the third wave is inevitable and imminent<\/strong>,” the\u00a0medical association said in a press release.<\/p>\n

The increase in vaccination coverage, along with strict adherence to the COVID-appropriate behaviour for “minimum three months<\/strong>” can mitigate the impact of a potential third wave, it said.<\/p>\n

“In many parts of the country both government and the public is complacent and engaged in mass gatherings without following COVID protocols<\/strong>,” IMA noted.<\/p>\n

“Tourist bonanza, pilgrimage travel, religious fervour all are needed but can wait for a few more months. Opening up these rituals and enabling people without vaccination to go scot-free in these mass gatherings are potential super spreaders for the COVID third wave<\/strong>,” it added.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IMA also pointed out that the onset of a brutal third wave would annul the minor economic gains that would be made for now by relaxing the COVID-related rules.<\/p>\n

“The consequences of treating a patient with COVID in hospital and its impacts on the economy will be much better than the\u00a0economic loss we suffer from avoiding such mass gathering<\/strong>,” it added.<\/p>\n

IMA’s warning comes at a time when violations of safety norms have been reported in a number of tourism-centric states due to the influx of visitors.<\/p>\n

Although the country’s per-day COVID-19 count has dipped below 40,000, and the overall infection rates continue to remain under 5 per cent, experts have raised concern over the gradual rise in R-number – reproduction value of the coronavirus – which increased to 0.88 between June 20 and July 7. It was measured as 0.78 in the May 15-June 26 period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
