Amid the grim surge in Covid-19 cases in Maharashtra, experts and state-appointed medical professionals said the number of cases is expected to drop only post April 15, around eight weeks since infections started increasing in the state. Maharashtra has been witnessing an alarming spike in daily infections since mid-February now. After reporting more than 30,000 cases on Sunday, the state reported 24,645 new cases and 58 deaths on Monday, taking the tally to 2,504,327 and toll to 53,456. State health minister Rajesh Tope on Monday said if the spike continues, the government will have to impose a lockdown in certain cities.
