What you need to know:

  • The WHO recommends that for a curve to be flattened, a country has to have a positivity rate of five per cent and below for two or three consecutive weeks.
  • Experts are now warning of yet another spike of infections

Health experts are warning of a possible spike in the number of Covid-19 cases by mid-next month, even as the country experiences a slowdown in the second wave of infections.

Since the beginning of the year the country has been recording a positivity rate of less than five per cent, which, as per the World Health Organisation, indicates a flattening curve.
