 The COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized by multiple waves of the virus since its initial outbreak in late 2019. The first two waves were caused by the Wuhan strain of the virus, which was contained through timely government intervention. The third wave, known as the UK variant, originated in neighboring India and was also successfully managed through partial lockdowns and other measures. The first wave resulted in 6795 deaths and 332,186 cases, while the second wave had 579,973 cases and 12,860 deaths. This article was authored by Malaizam Hussein Bakhari.
