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.

Daily cases start increasing suddenly just before the new year and there's a fear for the upcoming wave. Everybody starts to predict the peak cases in the 3rd wave and the date the peak will be reached. Assume you are in the 1st week of January 2022 and there's panic in the country, for the Omicron variant is said to be highly transmittable. Using your machine learning and deep learning skills, you have to create a model that predicts accurately the peak for the 3rd wave.

Coronavirus Pandemic In India

Coronavirus is spread rapidly in India with already lockdown in 32 States and Union Territories in India, we need to analyse, visualize and estimate the spread.

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.

Just like any country, India has struggled against the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Various factors like financial inequality, inadequate healthcare, and a huge population have made the matter even worse. In April 2020, after conducting the maximum number of tests in the country, the state of Maharashtra was able to detect over 1,900 cases. For the same period, the state of Sikkim carried out the minimum number of tests with zero cases detected.

What do people think about COVID-19 in India?

According to an online survey in February 2020, when the respondents were asked about their opinion on the issue of coronavirus, over 70 percent of the participants showed belief in staying alert and taking precautions. However, 16 percent of participants believed that the virus will not have a major influence on the country. To learn how people from different age groups are dealing with the fear of catching the virus, another survey was conducted in March 2020. It was discovered that the millennials were the most scared of contracting the virus. On the other hand, baby boomers showed minimum fear.

Impact of COVID-19 on India’s economy

The coronavirus has influenced the Indian economy in many ways. China has a major share in India’s import and export market. Therefore, any strain on the Chinese economy directly shows its effect on India too. This is true for all major economies of the world. Apart from this, the internal trade in the country has also taken a huge hit due to a series of lockdowns. In April 2020, the overall cost of a complete lockdown in India was estimated at around 26 billion U.S. dollars. India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the second quarter of 2020 was estimated to show a negative growth of nine percent. This was a huge decline as compared to the last quarter in which positive growth was observed.
