 Now a days India suffering from second wave of COVID-19. It's going so difficult to Indian healthcare system to provide all medical facilities to Covid-19 Infected patients, Indian healthcare system facing so many problems like unavailability of ICU beds, Oxygen Concentrator, Ventilators, Remdisivir Injections specially in Maharashtra state.                                                                                                                                          Infectious Disease Epidemiologists and Virologists are saying that the third wave will comming soon, it's also great challenge for Indian Government and healthcare system. Dr.Maria Van Kerkhove ( Infectious  Diseases Epidemiologists at WHO ) also says that "B.1.617 Coronaviruse variant that was first identified in India has been classified as a variant of interest by WHO. The Virologists Dr.V.Ravi from Bengaluru (Karnataka) has warned that the third wave of Covid- 19 will Hit the childrens in big way. The Virologists also suggested the government to take some stern steps to prevent crowding of people even after the end of second wave.                                                                                                               Dr.Ravi also says that "The way India handled the first wave was commendable, but thereafter experts' warning of a harsher second wave was not taken seriously and it is partially the reason behind the situation vaccination we are in today Covid cannot be handled well without scientific, data driven. interventions," Dr. Ravi, who is also the nodal officer for genome sequencing of SARS -CoV-2 virus in Karnataka, said the double mutant variant (B.1.617) is rapidly spreading in communities. "At the end of March the double mutant variant was detected in 5-10% of community samples, whereas it has now shot up to 45%. The other variant that is al so quickly spreading in communities is the UK variant," he said. ad ding that it should not be a concern for people as identifying mutants is just an academic exercise. He predicted that the second wave will peak in Bengaluru in mid - May and then it may take four - six weeks for cases to decline. But, he said, cases will continue to surge in other dis tricts after the second wave plateaus or declines in Bengaluru.                                                                                                                              The symptoms of B.1.167 variant include : 1) Gastrointestinal Infection (GI) - like Diarrhoea, Nausea, vomiting, Dehydration, Abdominal Pain                                                  2) Mucormycosis ( Black fungal Infection ) also observed in some patients after recovered from Covid -19 infection                        The Virologists also says  "We have don't enough paediatric Covid care wards, ICUs for childrens. This has to be scaled up"             So it is time for both Central and State Government to chalkout strategies.                                                              Thanks for Reading                        Copyright ©️ - Gaurav Khandare
