MUMBAI: A mathematical model analysing the reasons for the second Covid wave in the city and the future trends suggests that the rising graph of Covid fatalities will peak in the first week of May. Covid cases peaked a few weeks before May 1 in Mumbai.
Analysing the vaccination trends, a paper presented by a team of scientists from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, stated that in scenarios matching Mumbai’s inoculation drive (age-based vaccinations of 15 to 20 lakh new people a month; 75% efficacy), Covid fatalities will reduce to near January- and February-levels by June 1.
