In the month of October, the Coronavirus infection would be peaking in Chennai, and in 3 weeks to a month later it would peak in other parts of TN. The infection would start to decline 2 weeks after peaking in Chennai. This was according to the researchers belonging to the TN Dr. MGR Medical University.
Important measures like wearing facemasks, maintaining social distancing, and frequent hand washing are very important. It is now said that the flattening of the curve depends on the people and there might even be another rise if the above said measures are not followed by the people.
The researchers were of the opinion that the present 12-day total lockdown in Chennai and its neighboring districts might slow down the infection spread and further delay the peak by 2 to 3 weeks. It might be in late October or in early November.
There would be more Coronavirus cases that would be reported from many districts in the coming weeks. It is revealed that as per the projections TN is likely to record 2.7 lakh cases by the middle of the July month and around 60 percent would be from Chennai. It was predicted by Dr. Sudha Seshayyan and Dr. Srinivas that Chennai would have around 71,000 cases by the end of June. By 15th July 2020, Chennai would have more than double that is around 1.5 lakh cases. By the end of June, TN is likely to witness 1.2 lakh cases and by the middle of July, TN would have 2.76 lakh cases.
