Name of State / UT Total Confirmed cases (Including 76 foreignNationals) Cured/Discharged/ Migrated Death Andaman and Nicobar Islands 12 11 0 Andhra Pradesh 572 36 14 Arunachal Pradesh 1 0 0 Assam 35 5 1 Bihar 83 37 2 Chandigarh 21 9 0 Chhattisgarh 36 24 0 Delhi 1707 72 42 Goa 7 6 0 Gujarat 1099 86 41 Haryana 225 43 3 Himachal Pradesh 36 16 1 Jammu and Kashmir 328 42 5 Jharkhand 33 0 2 Karnataka 359 89 13 Kerala 396 255 3 Ladakh 18 14 0 Madhya Pradesh 1310 69 69 Maharashtra 3323 331 201 Manipur 2 1 0 Meghalaya 9 0 1 Mizoram 1 0 0 Nagaland 0 0 0 Odisha 60 19 1 Puducherry 7 1 0 Punjab 202 27 13 Rajasthan 1229 183 11 Tamil Nadu 1323 283 15 Telangana 766 186 18 Tripura 2 1 0 Uttarakhand 40 9 0 Uttar Pradesh 849 82 14 West Bengal 287 55 10 India 14378 1992 480 Let’s take a look at how much each state/UT accountfor in the nation-wide picture of COVID-19 cases. Maharashtra accounts for the most number of confirmedcases (about 23%) in India. The four states of Maharashtra (23.1%), Delhi (11.9%),Tamil Nadu (9.2%), and Madhya Pradesh (9.1%) together account for more than 50%of the total confirmed cases across India as of 17 April 2020. Cured & Deaths – Picture of the States Let’s take a look at how states have fared in terms ofcured cases and deaths. The All-India average of cured cases is around 14%. Andaman & Nicobar Islands stands highest with 91.67% cured cases though there are only 14 confirmed cases here. In Goa, 6 of the 7 confirmed cases are discharged (85.71%). About seven states have cured around 50% or more confirmed cases within their territories: Ladakh (77.8%), Chhattisgarh (66.7%) and Kerala (64.4%), Tripura (50%), and Manipur (50%). Since these numbers only indicate the percentage of cured cases within states and are not defined by the magnitude of cases in a state, the numbers do not represent the performance of states in terms of actual numbers. Of the states that have reported at least 100 cases,the recovery rate is highest in Kerala by a distance. More than 20% of thecases are cured in the states of Karnataka, Telangana & Tamil Nadu. Delhiwhich has reported more than 1800 cases, the second-highest in the country, hasthe least recovery rate of only around 4.2%. The All-India percentage of deaths is 3.3%. In termsof the states, Meghalaya reported 11.1% deaths, followed by Punjab (6.4%),Jharkhand (6%), Maharashtra (6%), and Madhya Pradesh (5.3%). Since Meghalaya& Jharkhand reported fewer cases, their death percentages are on a higherside. Of the states which reported more than 100 confirmed cases, Punjabreported a greater proportion of deaths (6.4%). Kerala which has the highestpercentage of cured cases also reported the lowest percentage of deaths ofthese states. What about testing? Most states have been reporting the number of samples they have tested so far. Sates like Telangana, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, and some Union Territories are not regularly publishing data in this regard. The data is sourced from state health bulletins to the last updated versions (as on 17 April 2020) and the total number of tests for India has been sourced from Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) (as on 17 April 2020).
