He can be reached at [email protected]In early December, we had a peak in the second wave of Covid-19. Our number of Covid-19 cases started to decline but then plateaued around 1,000-1,500 daily cases and stayed there for weeks. Some doctors in different cities of Punjab told me that they did not see such numbers of Covid patients even in the first or second wave. My physician colleagues also reported that patients are declining Covid-19 diagnostic tests and instead they have to rely on signs, chest x-rays, and other tests and CT scans. The third wave of Covid-19 is here but we could have prevented it or minimised its impact.
