COVID wave is likely to hit India around mid to late June and it is likely to peak in August, a recent study by a team of Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur suggested.
They further added that the fourth wave of the coronavirus is likely to continue for the next four months. Speaking about the severity of the infection, the team said that will depend on the coronavirus variant and the vaccination status across the country.
The scientists said that the fourth wave of COVID-19 in India will arrive after 936 days from the initial data availability date, which is January 30, 2020.
Therefore, the fourth wave starts from June 22, 2022, reaching its peak on August 23, 2022, and ends on October 24, 2022, the authors said in the study.
