Sandeep Juneja, senior professor, School of Technology and Computer Science, at the TIFR, said the peak fatalities could be in February, but it is expected to be around 30 to 50 per cent less than what was recorded during the deadly second wave between March to May last year. The city recorded 10,860 cases, the highest daily count since April 7, 2021, on Tuesday. "Cases in Mumbai could peak between January 6 to 13 and they are likely to come down to lower levels in around a month.

He, however, did not comment on the number of cases that the city is expected to witness during the peak between January 6 to 13. Mumbai had recorded 11,206 coronavirus cases on April 4 last year.
