2. Covid-19 Second Wave
What is the second wave and what caused it?
 From February onwards, cases began to rise
exponentially, and in 1 month (February to March)
we recorded as many cases as in 6 months of
2020.
 This is the second wave because it is the second
time that COVID cases are on the rise.
 The Mutants of coronavirus are very infectious
and have a high R-value (the number of people
who can be infected from one person).

3. Why is the second wave so concerning?
• Covid-19 Mutant is very contagious and has learned to dodge our antibodies.
• Even the 18-45 age group, who supposedly has strong immunity, is susceptible.
• This group has been classified as the COVID-19 super-spreader.
• This new COVID-19 strain is also infecting children.
 Possibility of Third Wave..?

4. Symptoms of the second wave COVID infection
• Fever/Cough
• Diarrhoea
• Conjunctivitis(Red Eyes)
• Vomiting
• Fatigue
• Body ache
• Headache
