AIIMS director Randeep Guleria has made a big statement according to data released by experts seeing the current increasing trend Dr. Guleria said that the cases are likely to peak in months of June -July.
“While predictions vary from May to August and keep changing depending on parameters used according to modelling data and the way our cases are increasing currently, it is likely that our case peak can come in June and July. There are many variables to this and an exact prediction isn’t possible,” said Dr. Guleria, on Wednesday.
He also added: “The next four to six weeks will be very, very important because the lockdown cannot be there forever, the focus now should be to identify spots that are showing a spike in cases and turn them into containment zones”.
