Union health secretary Rajesh Bhushan stated that the second wave of the Covid-19 has not subsided yet and asked the people to follow Covid-19 safety measures to protect themselves.

Bhusan further cautioned that in the upcoming months, the many festivals will remain crucial for the country. He suggested to avoid events that can lead to crowds should be strictly avoided.  He further said, “We are still in the surge of the second wave of Covid-19 in our country. The second surge has not concluded. It is not over. We have to maintain all necessary precautions,”

He also added, “Based on our experience, we have seen a spike after every festival. The coming months of September and October are crucial because we will be celebrating a few festivals. Festivals have to be celebrated following Covid-19 appropriated behaviour,”

Bhargava also said that the Covid-19 vaccines are ‘disease-modifying vaccines’ and not ‘disease-preventing vaccines’ and stressed upon continuing using masks to prevent further spread of Covid-19 even after being vaccinated. “Vaccines reduce disease severity and the chances of hospitalisation. They also avert chances of death to the tune of 98-99%,” the ICMR director-general said.

However, Bhusan said that the cumulative recovery rate is higher than 97% as he outlined that there are 31 states with less than 10,000 active cases, four states with 10,000 to 1 lakh active cases and only one state, Kerala, with more than 1 lakh active cases. Kerala also contributed to 51.19% of the total number of active cases in the country.
