Know, what is community transmission in the corona virus epidemic?

New Delhi, July 20, 2020, Monday

Corona virus is becoming a true epidemic in India. Corona's transition cases were under control for more than 2.5 months when the country-wide lockdown took place, but Corona has been erupting since the lockdown was gradually unlocked. With an average of more than 20,000 cases a day coming to the country in the last one week, given the way Corona has picked up speed, it is only natural to be concerned that community transmission is not happening. It is important to understand what this community transmission is.

The transition becomes almost uncontrollable when community transmission occurs in this third stage of the Corona epidemic. The person infected with this transmission does not know where the virus came from. A healthy person becomes a victim of infection even if they do not go to the hot spot of infection. In the first stage of transmission of the virus, people infected with Corona virus have come from other countries and they are also carrying the infection in their own country. This first stage has already crossed India. The second stage is the transition to the local level in which the local people are somehow exposed to an outsider or group of people. Even more deadly than these two stages is the third stage in which the source of the transition is difficult to identify. There is a fourth stage of any epidemic in which the transition takes the form of a catastrophe locally.

The third and fourth stages are very delicate as it is difficult to find the source of the virus infection. The discussion of community transmission has been gaining momentum in India for the last two days. Experts believe that given the way hot spots are growing in the country, community transmission cannot be ruled out. Concerns are growing among people who say the Corona community transmission is being spread by the Indian Medical Association. The prevalence of coronavirus infection in India is much lower than in Europe and the United States.

According to the All India Medical Institute, there is no evidence of community transmission, but the number of hot spots in the country is high and cases are increasing in cities, so it can be said with certainty that local transmission is taking place. Many areas have reached the peak of transition cases so the cases are also decreasing while not at the peak.
