ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives, Asad Umar has said that there are clear early signs of COVID-19’s fourth wave starting.
2 weeks back I had tweeted that our artifical intelligence models are showing possible emergence of 4th wave. Now there are clear early signs of 4th wave starting. Poor sop compliance, coupled with spread of variants of concern, indian variant in particular, are the main cause.
