Has community transmission of coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak begun in India? 

Well according to Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) 826 samples have been tested and none of them are positive so far. Which so far rules out community transmission of COVID-19.

Community transmission occurs when a person with no travel history to a Covid-19-affected country or known contact with a confirmed case tests positive for the disease. It indicates undiagnosed and often asymptomatic people are unknowingly causing infection, which makes it difficult to break the chain of transmission.
