India may see 2.9L cases a day A by 2021: MIT study

India may record about 2.87 lakh coronavirus cases per day by the end of winter 2021 in the absence of a Covid-19 vaccine or drug intervention, according to a modelling study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), but noted the projections should be interpreted as indicators of potential risk and not precise predictions of future cases. The researchers noted that the top ten countries by projected daily infection rates at the end of winter 2021 are India with 2.87 lakh infections per day, followed by the US, South Africa, Iran, Indonesia, the UK, Nigeria, Turkey, France, and Germany.
