India’s COVID19 case has raised 13 folds in two months. A second wave has hit the country due to an open disregard for safety protocols nationwide that made the nation the third hardest hit country soaring past its mid-september peak around 98,000 cases a day.
The resurgence of the new corona virus could be a result of election rallies led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other major figures. This is also the result of crowded festivals and other religious gatherings as well.
After giving an end to the first surge late last year, leaders have let down the safety precautions. Experts say that the pandemic has returned stronger as the virus was underestimated hence reopening the economy too fast and too broadly.
