In a bid to curtail a possible third Covid-19 wave, an expert panel recommends the government to increase the vaccination and stick to non-pharmacological interventions, as Covid-19 appropriate behaviour, wearing mask, social distancing and containment zone.

Many health experts and Covid-19 management bodies have warned that a third outbreak of novel Coronavirus may hit the country by September. One of the experts in the government-authorised panel told ANI the key is to strengthen health infrastructure and prepare adequately so that up to 4 lakh cases every day can be handled. In addition, routine services are also to be maintained, they said.
