Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Due to limitations of the testing procedure, diagnosis takes about 5 days after symptoms are visible, i.e., 10 days from the day of infection. Clearly, on the average, an infected individual is beyond the peak of maximum infectiousness after this time. Thus, a reduced rate of infection demands early diagnosis and isolation of positive patients. This means that a COVID-19 patient needs to be identified in the pre-symptomatic stage as evidence suggests the infectiousness of the patient before developing symptoms which is extremely challenging (effectively, RT-PCR needs to be carried out for every individual who might have come in contact with the patient). The epidemic becomes even more complex due to a majority of the infected individual who develops mild or no symptoms [15, 16]. Therefore, even with isolating/quarantining, all the infected COVID-19 would not be eliminated for two reasons: a) normally an individual would be tested after symptoms appear which is when he/she has passed the peak of the contagiousness, b) asymptomatically infected person, in general, are not tested but he/she is also contagious like the symptomatic individual. Gradual relaxation of the containment versus extended lockdown?: Relaxing the containment: We have investigated the effect of relaxing the containment measures at 3 different time points for India (Fig. 9A-9D). We find that if the containment is relaxed before the peak infection is reached at the end of June, the infection would rise rapidly...
