The Centre is fully ready to tackle a possible third wave of COVID-19 and a provision of Rs 23,123 has been made for this purpose, Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur said on Friday.
He said special emphasis is being given to strengthening paediatric care amid apprehension that the third wave may affect children more than others. So far, India has reported 3,23,58,829 COVID-19 cases and 4,33,589 deaths due to the disease.
