28% Indians plan to travel in August-September; risk of third Covid-19 wave set to rise: Survey

MUMBAI: With as many as 28 per cent Indians planning to travel in August-September, which is also the time for some of the major festivals in the country, the risk of the third wave of the pandemic is set to rise, according to a survey.

In a statement, online platform LocalCircles also said its survey on April 12 had outlined the immediate second wave risk suggesting governments to impose travel restrictions.

To estimate the risk once again in light of a potential third Covid-19 wave and to understand people’s travel plans for the coming months, LocalCircles conducted another survey. It also sought to understand the reason for their travel amid the second wave of the pandemic, it said.
