Second wave of COVID-19 across Asia, following restriction easing

On April 2, 2020 it was reported that a second wave of COVID-19 cases across Asia occurred following easing of initial early actions. Following the new wave they reimposed measures, which was reported as “a sign that fighting the disease will take much longer than anticipated.”

The media report the “lethal threat” will likely remain until a fully tested vaccine arrives, spurring on the “race for a vaccine” with 125 organisations already in the race.

Respiratory viruses have never in human history been contained with the lockdown of healthy people, rebounding was always inevitable.
