Health specialists report that the current rise in Covid-19 cases is a 'mini-wave' or temporary seasonal spike, not a resurgence of the virus. They predict these minor increases will occur more frequently as the virus behaves like seasonal flu. Hospitals in cities like Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi face few severe cases, with most patients experiencing mild symptoms akin to seasonal influenza and recovering at home. Unlike previous waves, this phase isn't overwhelming hospitals, reflecting a rise in population immunity.
