‘Caution fatigue’ may lead to COVID-19 spike, experts warn as crowds increase ahead of Diwali

Stress over lives disrupted and fear of contracting a disease that continues its relentless spread is a potent cocktail that has led to “caution fatigue” and even “avoidance behaviour”, say experts as people everywhere seem to drop their guard against COVID-19. There are worrying signs that the resolve to continue adhering to the dos and don’ts of the times -- physical distancing, wearing masks and maintaining hygiene protocol – is flagging. This recklessness, more evident ahead of Diwali, may lead to a resurgence in novel coronavirus infections and stall the progress in curbing the disease, the experts said.
