Explanation:
The first case of COVID-19 in India was reported on January 30, 2020; the index patient was a student who had returned from Wuhan. Thereafter, only 2 more cases were reported in February. Subsequently, more cases came to the forefront in the month of March and there has been a surge in the number of cases since the latter half of April 2020 (Figure 1). As of June 9, 2020, according to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), a total of 266 598 confirmed COVID-19 cases have been reported from 32 states/union territories.2 Most of the cases have been reported from the states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, and Gujarat. Hitherto, the MoHFW have reported 7471 deaths due to COVID-19, translating into a case-fatality rate of 2.8%.2
An estimate released by the MoHFW on April 6, 2020 had revealed that out of the total number of confirmed cases, 76% were male. People younger than 40 years and older than 60 years accounted for 47% and 19% of cases, respectively. On the contrary, 63% of all the deaths had occurred in those aged 60 years and older. The case-fatality rates in 3 age groups, namely, <40 years, 40 to 60 years, and >60 years were 0.40%, 2.36%, and 8.89%, respectively. Moreover, 86% of the deaths were seen in people with underlying comorbidities, notably, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, kidney disease and/or cardiovascular disease. Although the overall mortality rates vary from one nation to another, being as low as 0.7% in Germany to as high as 10.8% in Italy,3 the fact that mortality due to COVID-19 increases with advancing age and presence of comorbidities is consistent across all countries. Another update by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) mentioned that 80% of the cases in India are either asymptomatic or mild.4 This is very similar to what has been reported from the largest Chinese series.5
