India has barely recovered from the devastating effects of the second wave of the pandemic and experts are raising voices of concern about the third wave of COVID-19. Some experts say that the second wave of the pandemic is not yet over, and a few say that the third wave has already started in the country. Now with the beginning of the festive season, there is a very real danger of active cases surging in the near future. The fear is not unfounded as most markets across the country wore a busy look with people throwing caution to the winds and not following COVID protocols like social distancing. Quite a few people can also be seen sporting their face masks below their chins. This is happening despite warnings from the government, health bodies and healthcare professionals issuing repeated warnings about the dangers of being complacent.
