Waves normally occur in pandemics caused due to respiratory viruses; the 1918 Spanish Flu, H1N1 (swine) flu are examples, said Dr. Guleria. \u201cThe second wave of 1918 Spanish Flu was the biggest, after which there was a smaller third wave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed-holdback-prod\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2hvcml6b25fdHdlZXRfZW1iZWRfOTU1NSI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJodGUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3R3ZWV0X2VtYmVkX2NsaWNrYWJpbGl0eV8xMjEwMiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJjb250cm9sIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd190ZWFtX2hvbGRiYWNrXzExOTI5Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6ImhvbGRiYWNrX3Byb2QiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjo2fX0%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1402227260807999491&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fpib.gov.in%2FPressReleasePage.aspx%3FPRID%3D1725366&amp;sessionId=0b0611808a0d4b01400cef3a18ac452cbc749f74&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=82e1070%3A1619632193066&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1402227260807999491\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And as we know, SARS-Cov-2 is a respiratory virus.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Multiple waves occur when there is a susceptible population<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>When a large part of the population\u00a0acquires\u00a0immunity against the infection, the virus becomes endemic and infection becomes seasonal \u2013 like that of H1N1 that commonly spreads during monsoon or winters.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Waves can occur due to change in the virus (such as new variants)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Since new mutations become more infectious,\u00a0there is a higher chance for the virus to spread.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>One of the reasons behind a wave can be human behaviour<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Dr. Guleria cautions:\u00a0\u201cWhenever cases increase, there is a fear in people and human behaviour changes. People strictly follow COVID Appropriate behaviours and non-pharmaceutical interventions help break the chain of transmission. But when unlocking resumes, people tend to think that not much infection will happen and tend to not follow COVID appropriate behaviour. Due to this, the virus again starts spreading in the community, leading potentially to another wave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Director said that if we have to stop subsequent waves, we need to aggressively follow COVID appropriate behaviour until we can say that a significant number of our population is vaccinated or has acquired natural immunity. \u201cWhen enough people are vaccinated or when we acquire natural immunity against the infection, then these waves will stop.
