With cases peaking across states, the positivity rate going down, experts believe that the deadly second wave of coronavirus, attributed to the mutant virus variant, seems to be finally coming closer to declining. Yet, there's one factor that continues to be concerning- staggering fatalities. Despite the second wave of coronavirus showing signs of ebbing since the second week of May, across India, hospitalizations continue to be on the higher side, and COVID-19 deaths are rising.
