According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), since the beginning of the pandemic, India has never marked itself as being in ‘Community Transition (CT)’.
Instead, India is opting for the lower, less serious classification called ‘cluster of cases’.
Countries such as the United States, Brazil, United Kingdom, France have all labelled themselves as being in ‘community transmission’.
Among the 10 countries with the most number of confirmed cases, only Italy and Russia didn’t label themselves as being in ‘CT’.
Community Transmission (CT) is a pandemic stage when new cases in the last 14 days can’t be traced to those who have an international travel history, when cases can’t be linked to specific cluster.
