Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Telangana have witnessed the biggest surge in coronavirus cases over the past two days

India’s coronavirus curve steeper than Singapore, Japan but flatter than US

The number of reported covid-19 cases in India has jumped 39 percent over the past two days to 4281, data from the ministry of health and family welfare (MoHFW) published last evening showed. This is a slower increase compared to the previous 48 hours, when the reported case count rose 48 percent to 3072. Both countries had managed to flatten their trajectories in the early days through focused screening and testing. It is likely that cases will continue to rise as testing expands, even if the lockdown has lowered the rate of transmission of the virus. If the lockdown phase is used effectively to identify and isolate affected patients, this could help India flatten the curve in the coming weeks. At 647, Maharashtra leads in terms of the number of active cases of covid-19, according to the health ministry update on Monday evening.

States such as Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, West Bengal, and Gujarat which have low testing rates and high fatality rates may have missed several cases in their early stages because of low testing, the study published by the British Medical Journal blog suggests. Source: MoHFW The number of active cases rose from 424 to 647 in Maharashtra, from 403 to 558 in Tamil Nadu, and from 151 to 280 in Telangana over the past two days. Given the limited testing so far, it is too early to say whether India’s current trajectory will sustain, rise, or flatten in the coming days.
