Corona Virus Statistics Today-n Latest Update

COVID-19 confirmed, recovered and deceased cumulative cases in India April 2020

 India reported 4,314 cases of the coronavirus COVID-19 as of April 6, 2020, with 328 recoveries and 118 fatalities. The country has been reporting new cases of the virus every day since March 2, 2020. While the number of new cases has been growing, some patients who tested positive under quarantine have made full recoveries.

Why the curve matters

The World Health Organization along with other global health authorities have repeatedly underlined the importance of “flattening the curve” to handle the novel coronavirus pandemic. What does it mean? Simply put, the idea is to reduce the number of new cases over a long period to allow people to have better access to healthcare and recovery without infecting others. If the current trend continues, the Indian health system would be overwhelmed leading to more deaths than recoveries. The most important idea is to cut transmission rates by practicing social distancing and following proper hygiene routines.

Situation overview

The western state of Maharashtra was seen to have highest number of cases of the coronavirus since early March. In order to cope with the crisis better, the government was making contingency plans to increase COVID-19 testing capacities of the country . Over 130 government laboratories and around 56 private laboratories had been designated across the country to test suspected patients for free. At the same time, the country went into a total lockdown on March 25, making it the largest in the world, restricting 1.3 billion people.
