Amid warnings of a third Covid-19 wave as the country gradually eases restrictions, a top AIIMS official on Sunday said that human behaviour is one of the major factors that would determine future outbreaks of the virus.
Neeraj Nischal, assistant professor, Department of Medicine at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), said, “Covid-19 waves will depend on two important factors, one is virus-related and the second human-related factors. The mutation of the virus is beyond our control. Through Covid-appropriate behaviour one can stop these waves.”
