Positivity rate 20% or more in 2 out of every 5 districts in India

Over 40% of India’s 741 districts, or 301 of them, had a test positivity rate of 20% or more for the week from May 1 to May 7. Of the 15 districts with positivity rates above 50% for the period, Haryana had four and Arunachal Pradesh and Rajasthan two each. The highest positivity rates were in Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh which registered 91.5%, but this is likely an indication of low number of tests.
