Let’s first understand the different stages of the spread of the virus:
Stage 1 | Imported Cases: These are those who have travelled to virus-hit foreign countries and have come back to India.
Stage 2 | Local Transmission: These are those cases who have come in contact with patients who have a travel history.
Stage 3 | Community Transmission: Community transmission is when a patient not exposed to any infected person or one who has travelled to any of the affected countries tests positive. Large areas get affected when community transmission takes place.
Stage 4 | Epidemic: This is the last and the worst stage where the disease take the shape of an epidemic with no clear end point like it did in China.
