Answer 1

1)Introduction-The total confirmed COVID-19 positive cases in India crossed the one-million mark, nearly 170 days after the first case was registered on January 30 in Kerala. India now has the third highest number of confirmed cases, behind the U.S.’s close to 3.5 million and Brazil’s 1.97 million cases.

2)Test methodology used

The majority of the tests being conducted in India and worldwide are RT-PCR, which requires nasal and throat swabs and are used to directly detect the presence of the virus rather than antibodies.

The test detects the virus’s RNA, which will be present in the body before antibodies form or symptoms of the disease are present, and tells whether or not someone has the infection very early on. The test proceeds by converting the RNA to DNA through a process called ‘reverse transcription’, before detecting the virus.

3)Analysis of data

primary objective of this research work is to analyze what happened in India during the first 3 phases of lockdown. We have drawn a statistical model to understand the virus spread pattern in India. The investigation results identify the effect of COVID-19 in India on weekly and lockdown fashion. Exploratory data analysis is performed on COVID 19 India data. This paper statistically analyzed statewide data. It has drawn statistical model for the percentage of variation between states on the reported numbers of the recovered, mortal, cured patients and samples tested. The analysis of this data will help us to identify the areas of improvement and making better decisions in upcoming days.

4)Outcomes

The recovery rate of COVID-19 patients has shown improvement even as the number of cases in the country continued to rise on Monday with the total reaching 42,836.
The outcome ratio, indicating the status of closed COVID-19 cases whether recovered or died, improved to 90:10.
The total number of cases include 29,685 active cases, 11,762 cured/discharged/migrated and 1,389 deaths. The Health Ministry said that 2,573 new cases and 83 deaths were reported in last 24 hours.
At the regular media briefing on COVID-19 situation, Lav Agarwal, Joint Secretary, Health Ministry said that 1,074 persons have been cured in the last 24 hours.
"This is the highest number of cured patients in a day. 11,706 people have been cured to date. The recovery rate is 27.52 per cent," he said.
"If we analyse the closed data of COVID-19 cases and calculate the outcome ratio that indicates the status of cases as in whether they have recovered or died, then it is found that outcome ratio has increased from 80:20 from April 17 to 90:10 today," he added.
On April 30, 630 COVID-19 patients had recovered in the 24 hours and the recovery rate was 25.19 per cent. The recovery rate was 23.3 per cent on April 28.

5)summary

The global pandemic of COVID-19 has posed a serious challenge to most countries in terms of managing the outbreak and reducing its impact on people. On one hand, economic activities in most countries, including India have reduced following nation-wide lockdowns. This has resulted in many people losing out on their incomes, like in the case of migrant workers and daily wage labourers as non – essential services have come to a standstill. On the other hand, the IMF has predicted a global recession worse than 2008, calling this period ‘humanity’s darkest hour’ since societies and economies have halted temporarily.
