the fourth wave of the COVID-19

infection

in India may arrive around June 22 and from mid-August to the end, It can reach its peak. This study has been published recently in the journal MedRive and its conclusions are yet to come.

They wrote, "Therefore, the fourth wave will start from 22 June 2022 and It will peak by 23 August 2022 and then end by 24 October 2022. The researchers, however, said that there is always a possibility that a possible redesign will have a profound effect on the overall assessment.
