The second wave of Corona started in the last week of April and began to peak in the initial days of May, as the country recovered from the first wave of Corona that spread in 2019. While it has spread rapidly, its impact is now diminishing. But there is still a great struggle to recover from it entirely.
In this case, the third wave of Corona will start in six to eight weeks, said Dr Randeep Guleria, chief physician of Delhi Aims. Following this, the Tamil Nadu government has stated that the state is ready to deal with the third wave of Corona.
This new mutant virus is characterized by a mutation in the spike protein of the coronavirus, K417N. The virus, which was first detected in India, was named Kappa and the virus was named Delta after the B1.617.2 virus.
