The modelling scenarios also show that with no controls up to 80 per cent of the population would become infected with around 300,000 deaths.
With more strict measures, the number of people infected with COVID-19 will range between 9,34000 and 1,879 000, based on 2.5 to 5 per cent infections.
Public health officials sounded a note of caution stating that to get the pandemic under control, various measures like physical distancing will continue over time in various waves.
