"But it is not clear on what time scale this phase three will occur. We should prepare for new waves. New variants will arise all over the world and in India too but variants that increase transmission will likely plateau," he told media.
拉加萬對媒體稱："但是目前尚不清楚第三波疫情發(fā)生的時(shí)間和規(guī)模。我們應(yīng)該為此做好準(zhǔn)備。變異病毒將會(huì)在世界各地和印度出現(xiàn)，雖然變異病毒增加感染率，但是感染將趨于平穩(wěn)。"
