In a press conference held by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Dr. R. Gangakhedkar representing the Indian Council of Medical Research when asked if the models that universities abroad have published hold merit, stated that these models are based on assumptions. The studies reflect India with a high number of cases to which Dr. Gangakhedkhar retorted saying there are enough people wishing for Doomsday.
When asked further that the universities stated that India was testing lesser samples, Dr. Gangakhedkar said that as India was testing enough for stage two and had changed the criteria for testing.
