Experts in the country's Health Ministry are offering a worst-case scenario according to which within five days of now, the daily infection rate may reach the 1,000 mark.
There are currently approximately 5,500 CV-19 patients nationwide with several dozen in critical condition.
A health export at the Ministry said that the government had made "an honest attempt" at re-opening the economy which had "succeeded in some sectors and failed in others."
She pointed to the school system as an example of a "failed experiment" saying the government had expected small classes with students maintaining social distancing rules to succeed only to see it fail in a big way.
