The “Curve” which all the researchers in the world are commenting upon is the one which states the number of people that will come in contact with Covid-19 over a particular period of time. This curve will tell you about the theoretical spread of the virus and will help different governments around the world to predict the outcome of such a condition and plan various measures which can be used to deal with this situation we all are living with. The use of pandemic curve can be traced back in time and how it has benefitted mankind since time immemorial. The origin of the strategy of flattening the curve can be traced back in a newspaper named Interim pre pandemic planning guidance: community strategy for pandemic influenza mitigation in US: early, targeted, layered use of non-pharmaceutical interventions. The center for disease control and preventions published it in 2007, a paper which gave a preview about this impactful strategy and about how this could be used in a pandemic like situation. To win this battle against the novel coronavirus, infection Covid-19; epidemiologists are using this strategy of “Flattening the Curve”; but in this strategy in addition to social distancing there is a significant requirement to increase the surge capacity of hospitals. Different data is coming from different region’s which tells that diverse actions are being taken in different countries. This review will have a look at the Indian scenario of flattening the curve along with all the strategies applied and their success rate.en_US
