India reported over 44 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as of October 20, 2023. The number of people infected with the virus was declining across the south Asian country.

What is the coronavirus?

COVID-19 is part of a large family of coronaviruses (CoV) that are transmitted from animals to people. The name COVID-19 is derived from the words corona, virus, and disease, while the number 19 represents the year that it emerged. Symptoms of COVID-19 resemble that of the common cold, with fever, coughing, and shortness of breath. However, serious infections can lead to pneumonia, multi-organ failure, severe acute respiratory syndrome, and even death, if appropriate medical help is not provided.

COVID-19 in India

India reported its first case of this coronavirus in late January 2020 in the southern state of Kerala. That led to a nation-wide lockdown between March and June that year to curb numbers from rising. After marginal success, the economy opened up leading to some recovery for the rest of 2020. In March 2021, however, the second wave hit the country causing record-breaking numbers of infections and deaths, crushing the healthcare system. The central government has been criticized for not taking action this time around, with "#ResignModi" trending on social media platforms in late April. The government's response was to block this line of content on the basis of fighting misinformation and reducing panic across the country.

India reported almost 45 million cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as of October 20, 2023, with more than 44 million recoveries and about 532 thousand fatalities. The number of cases in the country had a decreasing trend in the past months.

Burden on the healthcare system

With the world's second largest population in addition to an even worse second wave of the coronavirus pandemic seems to be crushing an already inadequate healthcare system. Despite vast numbers being vaccinated, a new variant seemed to be affecting younger age groups this time around. The lack of ICU beds, black market sales of oxygen cylinders and drugs needed to treat COVID-19, as well as overworked crematoriums resorting to mass burials added to the woes of the country. Foreign aid was promised from various countries including the United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. Additionally, funding from the central government was expected to boost vaccine production.

Situation overview
Even though days in April 2021 saw record-breaking numbers compared to any other country worldwide, a nation-wide lockdown has not been implemented. The largest religious gathering - the Kumbh Mela, sacred to the Hindus, along with election rallies in certain states continue to be held. Some states and union territories including Maharashtra, Delhi, and Karnataka had issued curfews and lockdowns to try to curb the spread of infections.

In past 24 hours, India, Asia had 68 new cases, N/A deaths and N/A recoveries.

Delhi confirmed almost two million cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as of October 20, 2023, with over 26 thousand fatalities and over two million recoveries. The Delhi government, led by Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party implemented a night and weekend curfew to curb infection numbers in late April 2021. The capital region faced acute shortage of oxygen and ICU beds during this time period.

I struggled a lot to find data in the form of csv file for doing analysis of Covid19 impact on India but I wa u unable to find any good dataset. Hence I had to spend a lot of time learning how to extract JSON files and write codes to convert that into a usable form. Hence I thought I will upload it so that in future aspiring Data analysts can have easy access to the dataset.

The first Covid 19 case in India was reported on 30th January 2020 in South Indian state of Kerala on a medical student who was pursuing the studies at Wuhan University, China. Two more students were found to be infected in Kerala in the consecutive days. The Kerala government was successful in containing the disease with its proactive measures back then. The second outbreak of Covid 19 in India started in the first week of March from various parts of India in various people who visited the foreign countries and in some of the tourists from different countries.

Click on the next caption to know the state-wise number of confirmed, active, recovered and deceased cases in the form of bar chart. 3. The next caption takes you to the bar chart which shows the number of cases getting confirmed in India each day starting from January 30, 2020. 4. Next caption takes us to an analysis of the Mortality rate and the Recovery rate (in percentage) of each of the Indian state. We get an idea how hard each of the state is hit by the pandemic. 5. Next caption gives a detailed analysis of the state Kerala which has the mortality rate of 0.806% and the recovery rate of 74.4% as of now. Hover the mouse to know the count in each district.

Maharashtra confirmed over 8.1 million cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as of October 20, 2023, with over 148 thousand fatalities and over eight million recoveries. A state-wide lockdown was implemented in late April 2021 to attempt reducing infections and deaths.

A majority of the coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in India affected people between ages 31 and 40 years as of October 18, 2021. Of these, the highest share of deaths during the measured time period was observed in people under the age of 50 years.

Project Tycho datasets contain case counts for reported disease conditions for countries around the world. The Project Tycho data curation team extracts these case counts from various reputable sources, typically from national or international health authorities, such as the US Centers for Disease Control or the World Health Organization. These original data sources include both open- and restricted-access sources. For restricted-access sources, the Project Tycho team has obtained permission for redistribution from data contributors. All datasets contain case count data that are identical to counts published in the original source and no counts have been modified in any way by the Project Tycho team, except for aggregation of individual case count data into daily counts when that was the best data available for a disease and location. The Project Tycho team has pre-processed datasets by adding new variables, such as standard disease and location identifiers, that improve data interpretability. We also formatted the data into a standard data format. All geographic locations at the country and admin1 level have been represented at the same geographic level as in the data source, provided an ISO code or codes could be identified, unless the data source specifies that the location is listed at an inaccurate geographical level. For more information about decisions made by the curation team, recommended data processing steps, and the data sources used, please see the README that is included in the dataset download ZIP file.
