The chance of a possible second wave of the pandemic is not fake. Experts have warned the risks of the resurgence of COVID-19 infections.The second wave of the pandemic is when the disease appears to be contained in its spread before infections start shooting up from a different population or in another locality. Dr. Mike Yeadon, the former scientific advisor at Pfizer, has challenged the UK's Health Secretary Matt Hancock regarding the COVID-19 testing and said alerts of the second wave on positive COVID tests were fake. There were so many reports and suggestions over the second wave of the pandemic. Some scientists suggested that if the person is resistant or immunologically fit, they would neither get ill nor participate significantly in viral transmission. World Health Organisation(WHO) had warned countries to stay alert to the chance of resurgence of the second wave of the COVID-19. It urged that the nations should remain vigilant as they re-open their economies. WHO emergencies head Dr. Mike Ryan said epidemics often come in waves. This means that outbreaks could go back later this year in areas where the initial wave has fallen. There was also a possibility that infection rates could rise again promptly if measures to halt the first wave were lifted too early. Luxembourg's Government has released a report over testing pandemic and about the second wave. It states that there is a possibility of the second wave by analog contacting. Hence, proactive and preventive actions should be taken. The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a lot of potentially dangerous misinformation.
