India also reported 1,576 fresh COVID-19 deaths, the lowest in 63 days. As infections decline, experts warn a third wave may arrive sooner than expected. The lack of compliance to COVID-appropriate behavior was cited as a major reason.

    Third wave may hit in 6-8 weeks: AIIMS-Delhi chief

    The third wave of COVID-19 may hit India in six to eight weeks, said Dr. Randeep Guleria, the Director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi. "As we have started unlocking, there is again a lack of COVID-appropriate behavior. We don't seem to have learned from what happened between the first and the second wave," Dr. Guleria said.

    States asked to 'carefully calibrate' unlocking

    In light of a possible third wave, Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla wrote to the administrations of all states and union territories on Saturday.

They were advised to track small outbreaks early so as to ensure that these are tackled through local containment measures at the micro-level.
