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.

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.

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.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China, saw infection cases spread throughout the Asia-Pacific region. By April 13, 2024, India had faced over 45 million coronavirus cases.
