What are covid waves?

In order to fight covid, it is very important to understand the pattern of its waves. 

Waves are basically an infection graph. When the infection rate increases rapidly, a wave is speculated. In terms of covid, India has witnessed three waves so far. As per reports, over 40 million Indians got affected by covid. However, the good news is that almost 80% of the Indian population is fully vaccinated.
