Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a highly infectious disease, was first detected in Wuhan, China, in
December 2019. The disease has spread to 210 countries and territories around the world and infected
(confirmed) more than two million people. In India, the disease was first detected on 30 January 2020 in
Kerala in a student who returned from Wuhan. The total (cumulative) number of confirmed infected people
is 17615 till now across India (19 April 2020). Most of the research and newspaper articles focus on the
number of infected people in entire India. However, given the size and diversity of India, it may be a good
idea to look at the spread of the disease in each state separately, along with the entire country. For example,
currently, Maharashtra has more than 2500 confirmed cumulative infected cases, whereas West Bengal has
less than 300 confirmed infected cases (16 April 2020). The approaches to address the pandemic in the two
states must be different due to limited resources. In this article, we will focus the infected people in each
state (restricting to only those states with enough data for prediction) and build three growth models to
predict infected people for that state in the next 30 days. The impact of preventive measures on daily
infected-rate is discussed for each state.
