Even if the lockdown in the country is abolished at the end of this month, it will still take until mid-July for the cases of corona virus infection to peak. A renowned epidemiologist claimed on Tuesday that despite reaching the peak, the country is likely to see only a 'slight increase' in infection cases due to strong preventive measures taken during the last two months.

 

Prof. R. R. of Public Health Foundation of India Babu said, "The chart of people dying of Covid-19 (Corona virus) in the country is definitely going downwards compared to the global level." Dr. Babu, who has worked with WHO for nearly six years, has been responsible for controlling the transmission of polio infection in Karnataka. This means, he said, that virus transfer in the country has been controlled to a great extent.

He said, if you remove the lockdown on May 30, we will be at the transition peak near mid-July, because for this you will have to go through three incubation periods, which sit for about a month and a half. He said, this much time will be enough to know how the disease spreads in case it is not controlled.

He said, it is too early to say, but now there will never be anything like deregulation in India, because if you liberate people even today, then they will not do the things they used to do due to virus phobia.

 

"In such a situation, we are likely to have a lower bounce of the infected than the situation which could have been created if nothing was done in the beginning," he said.
