The COVID-19 curve in India is relatively flat as of now and if work is done collectively then the peak may never come, said Lav Agarwal, Joint Secretary, Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare during a press briefing on Monday.

"During lockdown and containment activities, we have been able to control cases relatively. The curve is relatively flat as of now. When the peak will come - that's not the right way of looking at the situation. What is relevant is we know how to prevent the disease. If we work collectively in that direction, then the peak may never come. If we fail at any point, then we will witness a spike," Agarwal said.
