NEW DELHI: (HRNW) India may be entering an endemic stage of the Covid-19 pandemic where there is a low or moderate level of transmission going on, said WHO Chief Scientist, Soumya Swaminathan.
Swaminathan made the comments in an interview with a local news portal The Wire on Tuesday.
“We may be entering some kind of stage of endemicity where there is low-level transmission or moderate level transmission going on but we are not seeing the kinds of exponential growth and peaks that we saw a few months ago,” Swaminathan said.
The endemic stage is when a population learns to live with a virus. It’s very different to the epidemic stage when the virus overwhelms a population.
