India may see fourth Covid wave around June 22: IIT Kanpur study
New Delhi, February 28 (News Hunt)- The fourth wave of the Covid pandemic in India may start around June 22 and peak from mid to late August, a modelling study by researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur suggests.
The yet-to-be peer-reviewed study, recently posted on the preprint repository MedRxiv, used a statistical model to make the prediction, finding that the possible new wave will last for four months. The study led by Sabara Parshad Rajeshbhai, Subhra Sankar Dhar, and Shalabh of IIT Kanpur’s Department of Mathematics and Statistics shows that the severity of the fourth wave will depend on the emergence of a possible new coronavirus variant, and vaccination status across the country.
“The data indicates that the fourth wave of Covid in India will arrive after 936 days from the initial data availability date, which is January 30, 2020,” the authors of the study said.
“Therefore, the fourth wave starts from June 22, 2022, reaching its peak on August 23, 2022, and ends on October 24, 2022,” they wrote in the research paper. However, the researchers noted that there is always a fair chance that a possible new variant of coronavirus may have an intense impact on the whole analysis. The impact will depend on various factors like the variant’s infectibility, fatality, etc, they said.
“Apart from this fact, the effect of vaccinations — first, second or booster dosage may also play a significant role on the possibility of infection, degree of infection and various issues related to the fourth wave,” the authors said.

Odisha schools for classes 1-7 to reopen from February 28 amid Covid-19 decline
Bhubaneswar 27 february (News Hunt)- Schools for classes 1 to 7 will open in Odisha on Monday after nearly two years with a week-long rapport building exercise.
The government had announced earlier that the schools would open from February 14, but various district collectors sought additional time for undertaking cleaning, bush cutting and minor repairs. They cited the rural elections, due to which many schools would be used as polling stations. Most of the polling personnel consisted of teaching and non-teaching staff of the School and Mass Education (SME) Department. Therefore, the department announced the students would attend physical classes from February 28. Teachers had to come to school from February 14 to ensure proper cleaning and sanitization.
The schools were closed in March 2020 after the coronavirus pandemic struck. Physical classes for higher classes and other educational institutions had begun earlier. Schools had held parents-teachers meetings on Saturday, with a hope for observing positive participation from students on resumption of offline classes, SME Principal Secretary Bishnupada Sethi said. The government has drawn guidelines, including a week-long rapport building exercise. Sethi said the exercise was aimed at creating a stress-free and fun filled learning environment for school children.
