India has been witnessing a spike in cases since April after which an advisory was issued by the Centre for all states and union territories (UTs). However, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) on Sunday said that the current spike cannot be termed as the fourth wave of the pandemic.
Speaking to news agency IANS, ICMR Additional Director General Dr Samiran Panda said the surge has been observed at district levels, hence it cannot be said that the country is moving towards a fourth wave.
"Some surges have been observed at district levels. This is a called a blip... Blips are confined to certain geographical regions of the country," he said.
He also gave four reasons in favour of the statement. He said that first of all, the surge has been found at some local levels which is due to the testing ratio.
"Secondly, what we see is just a blip and we cannot say that entire states are under the grip of Covid."
Thirdly, there is no increase in the hospital admission across the country, he noted. And most importantly, according to Panda, no new variant has been found yet which indicates that there is no fourth wave right now.
