Heading out? Assess your risk using this COVID-19 calculator

If you are at a gathering of 50 people indoor, even where everyone wears a mask, you are at high-risk of getting infected with COVID-19

Partying indoor in India, even with masks on, is a dangerously high-risk activity with a 90,000-in-a-million (9%) chance of getting infected with COVID-19. Hanging out outdoor with friends, without masks, is relatively less dangerous. Such risk evaluations are based on various published researched studies, put together by the mircoCOVID Project as a calculator. The estimates are specific to India and are based on the case figures as on September 5.
