But the experts have earlier opined that India could be the next hotspot for coronavirus. Though we couldn&#8217;t rectify this doubt right now, the country&#8217;s infection count is rising, with the total number of cases standing at 206.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking about the spread of coronavirus in India, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) Director-General Balram Bhargava said that the country is in the second stage of transmissions, i.e. local transmission. He also added that the progression to the next stage might eventually happen but by delaying it India is making itself better prepared to localise and contain the situation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a report by the Times Of India, he also said that India has around a 30-day window to halt the beginning of community transmission of Covid-19 cases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We already know that we are in stage two. We are not in stage three, clearly as of now. There are four stages. The third stage is community transmission which we hope we shouldn&#8217;t have,&#8221; said Bhargava. &#8220;It would depend on how strongly we close our international borders, in terms of which the government has taken very proactive steps. But can&#8217;t say that community transmission won&#8217;t happen,&#8221; he added.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Different stages of the spread of the virus<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/Vurxadk3w3Nf623cYYJUcfUSuGPviAk7QO-aoXaegqFB1KBgPhjIhe7gnGun2U4kPR6sBhMGQuzIjXCHF2x8U6bM6tnxr6GNGr_a14BokqNou5JRdEh5MgSs8Eziu_pJ5y1WxSVn\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of now, the country has 72 laboratories to test the samples.

The additional centres will be at various medical colleges and other places.
