- Abishek_Muthian 6y agoI'm not entirely sure what you expected from 'infection rate', it is the terminology being used every where to signify the number of infections. If you wanted to know, 'how many people does a single person spread the infection' i.e. R0 or R-Naught; then it has come down to 1.55 on 11th April from 1.83 on 6th April[6].
