Covid-19: Rate of patient recovery in top coronavirus-affected states in India

On Friday, around 13% of the total Covid-19 patients in the country were reported either cured of the virus or discharged from the hospital.

The number of coronavirus cases in the country is over 13,000, however, patients recovering from the deadly contagion are also rising across the country.

On Friday, nearly 13% of the total Covid-19 patients in the country were reported either cured of the virus or discharged from the hospital. The number of recoveries has gone up from last week’s 8%.

Highest cases of coronavirus recoveries come from Maharashtra and Kerala. Nearly 10% of cases in Maharashtra have beaten the deadly contagion (300 patients). Maharashtra has reported more than 3,000 coronavirus cases so far.

Of Delhi’s 1,640 cases, 51 have made a recovery which is around 3%. This is also because of the fact that the national capital witnessed a sudden surge in its Covid-19 cases after scores of jamaatis, who attended a religious gathering at Nizamuddin’s Markaz in March, tested positive of the virus.

Delhi accounts for one of the highest coronavirus death tolls in the country after states such Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. As many as 38 people have died here.

In Tamil Nadu, which has the third-highest number of coronavirus cases in the country, 180 people have recovered out of a total 1267 cases which roughly comes to 14%.

The rate of recovery is low in Madhya Pradesh where just 64 of 1120 coronavirus cases have made a recovery, which nearly barely 6%.

Rajasthan has around 14.5% of its total coronavirus patients recovering from the virus - 164 patients of total 1131 cases. Gujarat has reported nearly 8% of its coronavirus cases recover. 73 people of total 930 patients have defeated the contagion.

When it comes to Covid-19 fatalities, just four Indian cities account for over 50% of coronavirus deaths. Mumbai, Delhi, Pune and Indore are cities that have seen the maximum coronavirus-related deaths in the past week.

Indore in Madhya Pradesh has emerged as one of the top Covid-19 hotspots with around 300 new cases on Thursday.

The number of coronavirus cases in the country on Friday rose to 13,387. The figure includes 11,201 active cases, 1,748 cases of recoveries and 437 coronavirus fatalities.
