Third wave may stabilize soon: Expert
Dr. Shank Joshi, member of Maharashtra COVID Task Force said that the number of corona patients in Mumbai has reached a record level and the third wave of Kovid-19 may soon settle down. Joshi further said that we expect further decline in these figures. Dr Shashank Joshi further said that a positivity rate of 25% was shown in the report in the past. We are expecting those numbers to drop. According to Dr. Shashank Joshi, in the last three to four days, they have seen a trend, which suggests that the number of cases may have come down due to three reasons.
This could be the reason behind the low number of cases
- First: A lot of people are now at home and they are in self-isolation and not getting tested.
- second: Many people are self-testing themselves, but they are not reporting it.
- Third: It could be that we don’t know the exact number at all.
