Third Wave Is Near, Govt Should Ban Religious Visits: IMA

Third wave is near, Govt should ban religious visits: IMA’s warning.

The third wave is near, government should ban religious visits, for the time being, people should also take precautions.

The second wave of corona in the country is not over yet. Cases have also increased in some states.

Meanwhile, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has warned the government that corona can be more deadly than tourism and religious visits.

With this, the third wave may come soon and religious pilgrimages can play the role of a super spreader in increasing the infection of the corona.

In such a situation, the IMA has demanded from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and all the state governments that the security measures to protect against corona should not be reduced yet.

Tourism, pilgrimage, and religious visits are necessary, but at present, it is not appropriate. For such events, one should wait at least three months now.

IMA President Dr. JA Jayalal said that the doctors have come out immediately after dealing with the second wave.

At such a time, in many parts of the country, the government representatives and common people are not following the rules of protection properly and are participating in mass gatherings.

The economic loss caused by events like tourism and religious tours is less than the economic loss and ill effects caused by Corona.

Therefore, it is the responsibility of everyone to follow the rules of prevention properly and do not organize any such event now, which may increase the risk of infection.

Apart from this, vaccination facilities should be made available near the homes of the people.

Avoid tourism and religious trips.

The IMA said in a statement that the arrival of tourists, pilgrimages, religious fervor is necessary but can wait for a few more months.

The doctors’ body said global evidence and any pandemic history suggest a third wave may be on the way.

Compliance with covid protocol is necessary.

However, it is sad to mention that at this critical time, when everyone needs to act to reduce the likelihood of a third wave.

In many parts of the country, governments and people are relax and are gathering in large numbers without following the covid protocol, the IMA said in a statement.

Tourist arrivals, pilgrimages, and religious fervor are all necessary but can wait a few months.

Don’t attend crowds without getting vaccinated.

IMA said that allowing them and allowing people to join this crowd without getting vaccinated can contribute a lot to the third wave of Covid.

The statement came amidst talks of allowing Kanwar Yatra in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand on the day the annual Rath Yatra begins in Odisha’s Puri.

The IMA has appealed to all the states to stop the overcrowding of people.
