india reported its first novel coronavirus case on january 30 when a student from kerala tested positive after returning from Wuhan. On monday (April 6), around two months later the total number of active COVID-19 cases stood at 3,666, according to the Ministry of health and Family Welfare. The total number of deaths has jumped to 106. Although, the health Ministry has said that there is no evidence of widespread community transmission yet, it identified 20 existing and 22 potential COVID-19 hotspots in the country for taking special containment steps.

 

Yet, with new cases being reported from across the country every day, it would be a herculean task for the government to identify emerging hotbeds of the virus as it would necessitate stationing of more health workers and resources.

 

Where mysore, pune, kerala, noida, Bhilwara and bengaluru have reported a substantial number of coronavirus positive cases, the Tablighi Jamaat event held at Delhi's Nizamuddin in march has emerged as a major COVID-19 hotspot, with around 1,100 cases and several deaths connected to the religious gathering. india is taking preventive measures and has asked all to stay home and to reduce the spread of irus.
