Background: Lockdown effectively can only result in relative freezing of populations that is expected to slow down the disease spread rather than zeroing it Flattening of epidemic curve Current analysis was carried out to observe a pattern in the rise of CoVID-19 cases along with concurrent announcements of strategies to control the spread of disease Material and Methods: Data in from of daily number of cases and issued notifications were studied from the official website of Government of India from 30/01/2020 to 03/05/2020 Qualitative assessment with thematic analysis was carried out for notifications issued by the government The fit to data on cumulative cases was observed with R2 and checked for linearity, logarithmic, polynomial, and exponential growth Daily growth fraction (Gt) was calculated based on the difference between current and previous number of cases, thereafter daily doubling time (Td(t)) was estimated
