Claim: Risk percentage of Community Transmission of COVID-19 for various states in India. Telangana has a high risk of 122%.
Fact-check: A random formula and questionable data predict the COVID-19 community transmission risk in various states - FACTLY
Verdict: the formula used to calculate the community transmission risk has no scientific basis. also, the numbers used for calculation are reportedly taken from the aarogya setu app which is not used by everybody. while the number of people in containment zones in telangana currently stands at 1,99,465, the quarantine number taken for calculating the telangana covid-19 transmission risk is just around 3000. hence the claim made in the post is false.
