Amid rising speculations about a possible third wave of COVID-19 in India, the Union Ministry of Health has urged all states and Union Territories to become more vigilant about people following the COVID safety protocols ahead of the festive season as the number of deadly infection cases rises sharply in China. In its letter to the states, the ministry cautioned that there is a rapid increase of COVID cases in many countries around the world and this trend clearly suggests that it is because of the COVID protocol not being followed diligently.

The government also said that a dipping coronavirus graph does not necessarily mean the pandemic is now endemic. "No mass gathering should be allowed in areas identified as containment zones and in districts reporting more than 5% COVID-19 test confirmation rates," the government wrote in its letter.
