Summary:

Mumbai: “It does seem that Maharashtra has reached its peak.

There are very clear signs now.

We should start seeing a decline in the daily numbers in the state in a few days,” said Prof Maninder Agarwal of IIT Kanpur, who is part of a team running a computer model simulating the trajectory of the epidemic in India.

“All the major cities in Maharashtra — Mumbai, Pune, Thane — also seem to have either reached their peaks or are very close to reaching a peak.

Pune, specifically, I think, is already there,” he said.
