Introduction:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the third coronavirus infection in two decades that was originally originated from city of Wuhan, China1. It is caused by Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a highly contagious virus that has spread rapidly and efficiently and has presented an unprecedented challenge before the world. As COVID-19 spreads across the world very rapidly since its first emergence in china, at present SARS-CoV-2 enclasps 206 countries world-wide and it’s becoming the tragedy of the century. This infection is transmitted by inhalation or
Thus, given the importance of CFR, in this current study the CFR and Recovery rates (RR) of different states of India during a COVID-19 ongoing pandemic was observed using up-to-date state level data.
Methods:
Source of data and procedure: The data were retrieved from accurate databases including Ministry of Health and family welfare (MoHFW), Centre for Evidence Based Medicine (CEBM) and World Health Organization (WHO). Due to the rapid increase in data, the analysis in this study was performed on the 14th of April, 2020 i.e. the day on which first 21 days lockdown ends
Parameters used in study:  For this study raw data was mapped according to states and CFR, RR were compared for states with ≥ 100 cases.  Parameters such as COVID-19 total confirmed cases, total number of deaths, total active cases and total recovered cases were presented.
Measuring the CFR and RR14:
The formulas below were used to measure CFR and RR
CFR (%) = (Number of deaths due to COVID-19/ Number of reported cases of COVID-19) ×100
RR (%) = (Number of cases recovered from COVID-19/ Number of reported cases of COVID-19) ×100
