Covid may be heading towards endemicity in India, local flare-ups may form 3rd wave: Vaccinologist

Noting that Covid-19 may be heading towards endemicity in India, vaccinologist Dr Gangandeep Kang on Monday said local flare-ups that will be smaller and spread wider across the country may add up to form a third wave of the pandemic, but the scale will not be like before. The endemic stage is when a population learns to live with a virus. It is very different from the epidemic stage when the virus overwhelms a population.
