New Delhi:
Delhi Health Minister Satyender Jain has said it is too early to say if the record one-day surge of 5,673 cases in the national capital indicated the start of a third wave of COVID-19 infections.
“We should wait and observe the trend for a week. We will not be able to say anything in definite terms till then. It is too early to call it a third wave just yet. But, it might be a possibility,” said Mr Jain, who has been overseeing the readiness of healthcare facilities in Delhi amid the pandemic.
Delhi recorded over 5,000 COVID-19 cases in a day for the first time since the coronavirus outbreak in the country this January. Its biggest ever single-day jump in cases was recorded yesterday, after a week of an average of 4,000 cases.
