‘Second Wave’ of Corona Virus appearing Worldwide
The COVID-19 corona-virus is clearly far from over. Recent data now shows that countries which had been thought virtually ‘Corona-free’ are now in danger of a second wave of virus.
Soon after being declared as a “Corona-free country,” New Zealand began reporting one case of the virus after another.

In the UK, Health experts have warned their government that a second wave appears imminent. With this in mind, many other countries are preparing themselves to battle another wave of COVID-19.
Experts cite the lack of implementation of safety protocols, lifting lock-down restrictions too far, and irresponsible behavior of individuals as leading to this situation.
“The evidence is the vast majority of people are still susceptible. In essence, if we lift all measures, we’re back to where we were in February,” said Dr. Mike Tildesley of the University of Warwick. Dr. Tildesley specializes in mathematical modelling of the spread of infectious diseases.
Pakistan is also one of the countries that are continuously reporting new corona cases across the globe. At the time of writing, more than 9 people died due to corona-virus in the previous 24 hours, pushing a total death toll to 6,162.
Beijing also reported a new outbreak of corona cases after thinking the pandemic was near an end in the area. In the middle-east, Iran is one of the most recent countries to announce expectations of a second wave of Corona-virus.
Corona-virus is often compared with the Spanish flu from history. That flu also had a resurgence, and the second wave of it was even more terrifying. Remembering that history, health experts are concerned about the impact of the next wave.
As governments prepare to battle the ‘second wave’ of COVID-19, the focus is complex. It is centered around controlling the spread, while minimizing disruption of daily activities.
