- 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.
- Four Stages of a Pandemic Transmission are,
- Imported Transmission,
- Local Transmission,
- Community Transmission and
- Epidemic.
