KOLKATA: The Covid surge sweeping across Europe and east Asia could reach India by end-May but with a lower mortality rate than Omicron despite high virulence, felt experts in Kolkata.
While a large number could again be affected, the infection is likely to be even milder than the third wave, or just a benign spell of cough and cold. But the elderly and those with a compromised immunity need to be cautious and ensure that they get a third booster shot before the wave strikes, they warned.
