The comparison of case fatality rate (CFR), and recovery rates (RR) between different states as of 14th April, 2020 has been presented in Table no.01 and the same is depicted visually in Figure no.01. As of April 14, 2020 total no. of confirmed cases in India was 10,541 and 358 deaths was reported with CFR 3.26%. The total number of exact people infected with COVID-19 may be higher than the number of known confirmed cases, mainly due to limited testing and asymptomatic cases. The geographical spread of coronavirus outbreak in India has now extended to 31 states and Union Territories with Tripura and Nagaland being the latest to report Covid-19 cases. The total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 was highest in Maharashtra, followed by Delhi and TamilNadu on 14th April, 2020. However, Madhya Pradesh’s CFR was the highest on 14th April, i.e.7.11% and greater than the CFR of India i.e. 3.26%. The data showed that five states (Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Maharashtra, and West Bengal) have CFR greater than the India’s CFR. The highest RR was observed in Kerala with RR values of 52.2% compared with the overall India RR of 10.99%. Once again, five states (Kerala, Karnataka, Haryana, Telangana and West Bengal) were found to have greater RR than the India’s RR of 10.99%. Coincidentally Kerala was found to have smallest CFR (0.79) and highest RR (52.2) (Figure 1)
