He stated that a study is underway to ascertain the causes of reinfection.
Parida cautioned that there is a strong possibility of a second COVID-19 wave in the state during winter and therefore people have to be extremely cautious to keep the disease at bay by strictly adhering to the COVID-19 guidelines.
