The third wave of covid in Himachal Pradesh is increasing day by day. Every day more than three thousand infected cases are being registered in the state. It is a matter of relief that most of the patients are getting cured at home and not in the hospital. State Health Minister Rajiv Sehjal said that the increase in the cases of covid is worrying. He told that in the third wave, patients do not have serious symptoms, most of the people are recovering in home isolation. Only 1.67% of the people are in need of hospitalization. He said that restrictions are not the solution, the solution to infection is precautions. According to estimates, the third wave may peak by mid-February.
