As active coronavirus cases from across the states in India are dropping marginally, NITI Aayog member VK Paul on Sunday said that the second wave of COVID-19 is now subsidising but to say that the worst is over will not be fair. Speaking to the media, VK Paul said, “We have seen in other nations, there have been more than two waves. India is currently in the festive season, which means there will be an increase in potential gatherings, therefore this is the most crucial phase of the pandemic, which may decide the fate of the country”. This comes days after the government warned that lowering the guard could trigger the COVID-19 infection rate and may lead to another massive outbreak of the virus in the country.
