Today India has a growth percentage of 5.5 which was as high as 22 per cent earlier. The number of COVID-19 deaths too has fallen significantly due to the lockdown, marking a notable difference between pre-lockdown and post-lockdown situations,” mentioned Paul.
“Real COVID-19 virus growth trajectory depends on the mathematics of the spread of infection, also on the behaviour of community and society. How we respond cannot be put into a model/equation, we can only make some guesses. Hence it is difficult to predict. Some epidemiologists, however, estimate high numbers as well. However, we have not done this estimate, what we have to say is that we will take required actions and control the infection to the maximum extent possible,” he added.
