New Delhi: Former Director General of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) NK Ganguly, while speaking to the press on Saturday, has said that coronavirus infection in Delhi has reached the third or the stage of community transmission.

He said that many cities (Delhi, Mumbai and Ahmedabad) with large number of cases of coronavirus are in the phase of community transmission. Otherwise, how can one justify hundreds of new cases every day?
