At nearly 1,600 confirmed cases, India appears to be on the cusp of community transmission, or stage 3 of the epidemic, when cases increase exponentially and are no longer restricted to people who have travelled abroad or come in contact with them. Officials have vehemently denied it, but their worry lines are starting to show.
Agarwal said the number of hotspots in India, an area with more than 10 positive cases, has risen to 1,251.
The Indian government’s response so far has been to slow the rate of infections, or flatten the coronavirus curve, as it takes steps to prepare itself for a long battle.
Fears about the number of cases being higher than what is officially reported have also been fuelled by India’s low testing rates. Only around 43,000 people in India have been tested for covid-19 as of Tuesday.

People not coming out for testing from that Nizamuddin Dargah will be charged with Epedimic Disease Act. It's not difficult to trace you. You can be easily tracked using your phones and CCTV footage available. Each and everyone will be caught and charged. Unless you surrender yourself.

Foreign missionaries that entered in tourist visa transmitted deadly virus to Indian nationals. Primary offence is using tourist visa for missionary activity. Govt failed to smell it. I was labelled islamophobe for pointing it out. It's true that several temples and churches were open then but you cannot rule out the primary offence which led to the infection

Those labelling Islamophobic are stupid. 10 violations doesn't justify 1 violation.
