India reported its first case of COVID-19 on January 30, 2020. Six months since then, COVID-19 continues to be a growing crisis in India with over 1.6 million reported cases. In this communication, we assess the quality of COVID-19 data reporting done by the state and union territory governments in India between July 12 and July 25, 2020. We compare our findings with those from an earlier assessment conducted in May 2020. We conclude that 6 months into the pandemic, the quality of COVID-19 data reporting across India continues to be highly disparate, which could hinder public health efforts.

2020年1月30日，印度报告了首例新冠肺炎病例。自那时起的六个月里，新冠肺炎在印度仍是一场不断升级的危机，报告病例超过160万例。在本交流文章中，我们评估了2020年7月12日至7月25日期间印度各邦及中央直辖区政府所做的新冠肺炎数据报告质量。我们将我们的调查结果与2020年5月进行的早期评估结果进行了比较。我们得出结论，在疫情爆发六个月后，印度全国新冠肺炎数据报告的质量仍然存在很大差异，这可能会阻碍公共卫生工作。
