A scientific committee appointed by the Centre on Sunday said the coronavirus pandemic has peaked in India and predicted that it will end by February next year. The panel said the country is likely to have 10.6 million (106 lakh) active cases by then.

The committee said that had India not imposed a countrywide lockdown in March, the virus could have claimed over 25 lakh lives by now.
