THE OUTBREAK OF COVID-19 IN MIZORAM, INDIA

Abstract

For a better understanding, this book represents the incidence of COVID-19 in Mizoram as three different outbreaks. The first outbreak started from the 2nd week of June and lasted till about the 1st week of July. The second outbreak started from the 2nd week of July and lasted till about the 3rd week of October. The third outbreak started from the 4th week of October and as of 26th November 2020, it is still an on-going outbreak with a trend in declining of active cases. The basis of classification into different outbreaks is purely based on the viewpoint of the authors. Also, each outbreak should not be considered as a wave of COVID-19. Thus, the first outbreak of COVID-19 does not mean that it is the first wave of COVID-19 and so on.
