According to the latest predictions by researchers from the Tamilnadu Dr. MGR Medical University, the coronavirus pandemic will peak in Chennai in the month of October and about 3 weeks or a month later in the rest of the State. It will then decline in Chennai two weeks after the peak. However they maintain that the flattening of the curve fully depends on the cooperation of the people.
There may be a second rise in cases if measures like social distancing, mask wearing and hand hygiene are not followed. They predict that the current total lockdown period of 12 days in Chennai and some surrounding districts may slow down the spread and delay the peak by about 2 or 3 weeks to either late October or early November. Tamilnadu is likely to record 2.7 lakh cases by mid July with about 60% cases from Chennai.
