Corona virus disease is a life threatening disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus
which shredded many lives in the world. The infected persons are manifested with mild to
moderate respiratory symptoms and usually get recovered without requiring special treatment
when diagnosed at an early stage. But in some cases, patients are becoming seriously ill and
needs medical attention especially in elderly people and co-morbid people. Anyone can get sick
with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die at any age. As there is a huge loss in the global
economy due to the pandemic and high mortality rate especially during the second wave in
countries like India, the idea of this article is to focus on the mistakes occurred during the second
wave and possible prevention strategies to reduce the risk of third wave. Publication date: 01/11/2022 https://ijbpas.com/pdf/2022/November/MS_IJBPAS_2022_6317.pdfDownload PDFhttps://doi.org/10.31032/IJBPAS/2022/11.11.6317
