Coronavirus Pandemic: India may see 13 lakh cases by mid-May with current pace, warn scientists

Amid the rising cases of coronavirus across India, a group of scientists has warned the country may see up to 13 lakh cases by mid-May if the numbers keep growing like this. The warning comes even after India seems to have done well in controlling the number of confirmed cases compared to other countries in the early phase of the pandemic. According to researchers with the COV-IND-19 Study Group, an interdisciplinary group of scholars and data scientists said the frequency of testing has been very low in India as only 11,500 subjects have been tested as of March 18.
