London: There are signs the UK may be facing a third wave of coronavirus infections, top scientist and professor Ravi Gupta claimed. Professor Gupta is a researcher at the University of Cambridge and a member of an advisory group to the UK government. He asserted that even though the number of new Covid-19 patients is less in the UK, the ones being detected with the variant from India are growing in number. The lockdown rules will be completely relaxed in the UK from 21st June. However, Professor Gupta has advised postponing this decision.   

In the last five days, over 3000 new coronavirus patients were reported in the UK. Moreover, the number of patients among them identified with this new variant is more.
