The Delta Plus new variant of Covid-19, which has created fresh concerns across the country, cannot be yet linked to a third wave of the pandemic, Dr Arora has said.
"We have a window period of 6 to 8 months to vaccinate everybody in the country," the chairman of the central panel said.However, he asserted that as variants are linked to new waves, the possibility can not be dismissed at all.
"Waves are linked to new variants or new mutations so there is a possibility as this is a new variant, but whether it will lead to a third wave it is difficult to answer as it will depend upon two or three things," Dr Arora told news agency PTI.
