Experts fear Maharashtra might be in the third wave.

Maharashtra recorded 88,130 Covid-19 cases in the first 11 days of July, raising fears of a third wave. This increase in coronavirus cases, according to experts, might be a forerunner for a new wave, given maharashtra has exhibited similar tendencies in the last two rounds.
Between July 1 and 11, Delhi, which claimed 25,000 cases during the second wave, only had 870 cases. kerala is the only state in india where more cases have been recorded than Maharashtra. kerala has recorded 1,28,951 Covid-19 instances between July 1 and July 10.

"Due to the Delta strain, we have a big tail, social mingling with no Covid-appropriate behavior, and a sluggish vaccination rate. Because the human mind is unable to be confined at home owing to compulsion or weariness, the virus is able to obtain access if double masking and proper conduct are not maintained "Joshi stated.
During both peaks, maharashtra reported the first cases/clusters in the country. The increasing cases might imply a continuance of the Covid graph's upward trend. However, the overall number of positive cases in the first ten days of July 2021 is 79,500, which is a significant number."

The number of cases in July is worrying, according to experts, and different areas in maharashtra have seen increases at different periods. "According to the overall graph, the infection is still circulating." When comparing the number of positive cases soon before the first and second spikes (in July 2021), maharashtra and mumbai reported a significantly high number of positive instances just before the two waves. Since a result, it is concerning for healthcare, administrative, and government officials, as this may be a forerunner to a third wave, for which we must prepare," said Dr. Chandrashekar.
