India has witnessed about 1,637 confirmed cases of Coronavirus disease and 38 deaths so far. The preventive measure has been taken by the government by declaring the lockdown of 21 days all over the country. Therefore, it is very important to learn about why lockdown became mandatory to save the country and cover the different stages of Coronavirus transmission.

Overall, the Covid-19 pandemic has been divided into 4 stages. They are:

Stage 1

In the initial stage, the cases are getting introduced from the affected countries like the infected tourists transmitting it. People who traveled abroad in the past 3 months and came in contact with an infected person are having the great probability of getting the virus.

Stage 2

At the second stage, the local people who somehow came in contact with the infected person or a patient who have traveled outside of the country. These people may be family, friends, and close relatives who are in touch with that infected person.

Stage 3

The third stage is termed as ‘community transmission’ where outspread is very fast in a cluster form. Here, tracing the person who is infecting others is not possible. Those who are not exposed to any infected person, but meanwhile have traveled to other countries are also testing positive for coronavirus.

Stage 4

It is the last and most terrible stage in the outspread of coronavirus. Several groups of infected people exist and lead the condition to be in the phase of an epidemic which has grabbed the whole world. Large numbers of infections that are spreading are difficult to manage and provide treatment.
