Worse Than Second Wave If Norms Not Followed: Experts

Urge people to behave with discipline and warn that if Covid protocols are violated, much severe wave of infection is imminent in the city

With people gathering in markets and restaurants after businesses were allowed to reopen, medical experts cautioned that the city could face a “worse than second wave situation” if the public does not adhere to Covid safety protocols.

The comments from doctors at several leading government or private facilities come after visuals of crowded markets surfaced in media reports, showing Covid-appropriate behavior like wearing masks or maintaining social distance not being followed by many.
