Abstract

COVID-19 is a severe, ongoing, novel pandemic that appeared in December 2019 in China city of Wuhan. Pakistan and many countries are now experiencing a second wave of the COVID-19 outbreak. The purpose of this study is to compare the COVID-19 outbreak between three Asian countries (Pakistan, India, and China). We collected data on COVID 19 second wave till June 2021. In Pakistan till June 2021 reported cases of COVID-19 were 9,49,838. In India, till June 2021 reported cases of COVID-19 were 29,977,861 and in China till June 2021 reported cases of COVID-19 were 91,682. Our results show that there are more cases of Coronavirus in India than in Pakistan and China. India is a country that deadly effected by 2^nd wave of Coronavirus due to a shortage of hospital beds, Oxygen cylinders, and Vaccines. In addition to managing the appearance of new forms, a few factors, such as lockdown and vaccination, were responsible for controlling the growing number of this disease cases worldwide. Collectively, a relative analysis of the situation of the 2^nd wave outbreak between these 3 Asian countries suggests to policymakers arrange for better management of Coronavirus reappearance or its rigorousness in India and other countries.
