TNI Bureau: The peak stage may now arrive around mid-November when a scarcity of isolation and ICU beds and ventilators can arise, according to a study.
The study, conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), said the lockdown helped in bringing down the number of infections by 69 to 97%.
However, this shortfall is estimated to be 83% less than what it could have been without the lockdown and strengthened public health measures.
In terms of COVID-19 mortality, approximately 60% deaths were prevented.
