The third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is inevitable in the country and could break out within one to two months. The impact may be more severe than the second. The warning is from the Deputy Director-General of the National Institute of Health, Eduardo Samo Gudo, who says that, at this moment, the battle is to delay this wave and flatten more and more infections, at a time when the evolution of the pandemic numbers in Mozambique is encouraging. The rise in infections by the new Coronavirus is controlled in all indicators. However, Eduardo Samo Gudo, who was speaking during the STV Notícias program, this Wednesday after the President of the Republic’s announcement, warned of the worst in the coming days. , and explained why there are limitations in various sectors in the country. “Relaxing all measures may lead to a re-acceleration of cases, may bring forward the third wave, and a more severe third wave may lead to a re- closing of schools, re-closing of economic activities that have already reopened, but precocious with the worsening in the socio-economic context “. Even so, with the measures taken, the third wave is inevitable, although it is not really known when it is expected and what will be the its magnitude, the objective now is to delay its arrival. “The data show that the interval between vacancies is about two and a half months and three months, if we look at our numbers we already have four weeks that the second wave has ended and, by this logic, we are saying that we would have about two months for a third wave to start”, he said. The source added that caution and gradualism for the total relaxation of COVID prevention measures- 19, will make the transition to the “new normal” happen with low levels of infection, which means that the low level of transmission for long periods will delay the arrival of the third wave. the relief of some measures mozambicans must exercise caution.
