States with high Covid-19 rates, such as Kerala and Maharashtra, could “skew the picture”, Vidyasagar said. The higher infection rates in Kerala are likely due to the state conducting more testing than other places, where cases may be underreported due to limited detection efforts. “If infection begins to increase in a few large states, the present balance will tip, and cases are likely to begin growing again in the country as a whole,” Kattuman said. “We might expect to see a slow-burn in the country for a duration — this can be expected to last until vaccination coverage is sufficiently high to induce herd immunity.”
