Abstract

We have studied the current COVID-19 spread situation in Assam, a State of India. We have found that currently the spread pattern is indeed exponential and that it is not going to show a reducing trend soon. As a result, it is not possible yet to forecast about the time of peaking of the epidemic in Assam. It can be said that the COVID-19 situation in this Indian State is very alarming even after five and a half months of the start of the epidemic in the State. It may so happen that in Assam the spread would continue to grow exponentially even after the situation changes in India as a whole.
