Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among workers returning to Bihar gives snapshot of COVID across India	2020-06-28		.txt	text/plain	3260	199	59	RNA testing on a near-random sample of laborers returning to the state of Bihar is used to estimate positive testing rate for COVID across India for a 6-week period immediately following the initial lifting of India's lockdown. Here, we rely on a unique dataset of RNA tests conducted on 43,356 workers from around the country who returned to their home state of Bihar between May 4 -June 10, 2020, to provide a snapshot of COVID burden across India. We study the rate at which workers returning to Bihar tested positive for COVID during a 38 day period from May 4-June 10, 2020. However, the positive rate among workers returning to Bihar was on average 1 percentage point (pp) (21%) higher than the prevalence reported by the origin state's testing data across the 3 periods. While prevalence among workers returning to Bihar was moderately correlated with the positive test rate reported by origin states, there are important differences.	./cache/cord-343857-qyxko730.txt	./txt/cord-343857-qyxko730.txt
