Covid Gb Indian variant, “signs of a third wave”

In the UK, there are the first signs of a third wave of Coronavirus infections. This is the warning launched by Professor Ravi Gupta of the University of Cambridge, a consultant to the government in the fight against the pandemic. For Gupta, although the number of new cases of contagion is “relatively low”, the Indian variant has caused an “exponential growth” in new infections. For this reason, the expert said speaking to the BBC microphones, the stop to all anti Covid restrictions, scheduled for June 21, should be postponed “for a few weeks, while we collect more information”. The postponement of the date of June 21 is no longer a taboo even for members of the Johnson government. Environment Minister George Eustice said the possibility cannot be excluded, after 3,000 new cases of contagion were recorded yesterday, a threshold that had not been exceeded since last April 12. However, Eustice said the government must act “one step at a time”.
