On April 21, 2020, India’s COVID-19 cases leaped to 18,860 and death toll crossed 600, as per official data. Nevertheless, the health ministry maintained that there is no evidence of community transmission. It is finding solace in comparing the doubling period of 7.5 days on April 20, with that prior to the lockdown, 3.4 days. Before the nationwide lockdown, there were 571 confirmed cases, almost all travel related. It is not too meaningful to compare the current rate to that prior to March 25. As India approaches the end of lockdown by May 3, it is pertinent to ask where India is on the epidemiological trajectory. Unless the government ramps up testing, it will be difficult to say if the peak has been reached.
