Amid the pandemic, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has said that even if the third wave comes in the country, its intensity will be low. Earlier, Manindra Agrawal, a professor at IIT-Kanpur, had said that the emergence of another wave depends on the emergence of a more infectious strain. Currently India's numbers have been relatively low, active cases account for less than 1 per cent of the overall cases and the positivity rate stood at 2.24 per cent.
