There is community transmission in Cuttack. As COVID19 cases are increasing rapidly in the city, it is suspected that there could be community transmission. Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) nodal officer expressed such concerns amid unabated rise in daily new cases of COVID19. However, the official said that the scientist of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) can only decide if we are in community transmission stage or not. People in large numbers are coming to Cuttack from outside and that is the reason why cases are rising in the city, the official said. He also said that the cases may peak in the next 5-6 days following which there will be a decline.
