Panaji, March 7 : Goa and the rest of India, may not witness a Covid spike unless the virus mutates once again, a member of the state government’s experts’ committee for Covid management said on Monday.
“One thing I have to tell you.Unless there is a new variant, there will not be a spike again,” Dr Shekhar Salkar told reporters here.
“There should have been a spike in cases due to election rallies.But it has reduced.Only crowds are not a factor (for increase in infections).It is the change in mutation, everytime a new variant, which has caused a problem.We hope and pray that the new variant, if there is one, is a milder one,” he added.
Only two new Covid cases were reported in Goa on Monday, taking the state’s total tally of active cases to 121.
