"Going as per the trend, the peak of coronavirus outbreak in India is expected to be in June," Guleria was quoted as saying.

Guleria, however, said it was difficult to predict how long the pandemic outbreak will continue.

India has been under the lockdown since March 25. Medical and health facilities are being ramped up as new COVID-19 dedicated hospitals are coming up. Medical researchers and scientists are said to be working on vaccines which were in "different stages of development", with a few going on to the trial stages.

The production of personal protective equipment (PPE) for medical and health workers, ventilators for patients undergoing treatment at hospitals, and face masks for the general public, has also been ramped up within the country.
