(LONG) Thread. Thanks for your patience. đŸ‘‡đŸ§”
After India announced its victory over #Coronavirus and things going back to 'normal', Vikas Pandey and @soutikBBC for @BBCIndia raised a red flag. Their report (published in Feb) talked about the fear of another wave and fresh #COVID19 infections. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-56206004
