Many shops and markets have been sealed in last five to six days as huge crowd witnessed at these places, informed Director of Health and Family Welfare Department Bijay Mohapatra.
Earlier, it was predicted that the Covid-19 third wave will arrive around September, but if such huge crowd is seen, then it may arrive early, said the health official.
