Between May 1 and today, over 4,000 positive COVID-19 cases have been reported in the country but in an interview to PTI, NITI Aayog member V.K. Paul has said that the continuous rise in the number of people testing positive is expected to stabilise any time now.

He said that the rationale behind the government's decision to extend the lockdown by two more weeks after May 3 has been done after looking at consolidated gains of the first and second lockdown. Paul currently heads the empowered group on medical equipment and management plan constituted by the government to handle the pandemic.
