Wedding and poll season have prima facie led to the recent surge in COVID 19 cases across India with the high-burden states sharing this input in review meetings with the Centre.
The government today said more than one state which has reported marginal rise in daily new infections in the past two weeks have said the season of weddings and ongoing election campaign rush has led to the surge.
“The surge has not been caused by any new variant of the COVID virus but states have attributed the rise in new cases to weddings and polling. Central teams are in high burden states to investigate deeper,” Member, Health, NITI Aayog VK Paul said today.
