Indian polling organization CVoter, which conducted surveys throughout the pandemic, calculated that the likely death toll from COVID-19 by mid-May 2021 was around 1.83 million. [ 47 ] Based on data from the National Family Health Survey, a research paper in Science Advances showed that even in the year 2020, deaths were undercounted by about ...
The figures presented are based on reported cases and deaths. While in several high-income countries the ratio of total estimated cases and deaths to reported cases and deaths is low and close to 1, for some countries it may be more than 10 [7] or even more than 100. [8] Implementation of COVID-19 surveillance methods varies widely. [9]

[ 8 ] [ 9 ] The first cases of COVID-19 in India were reported on 30 January 2020 in three towns of Kerala , among three Indian medical students who had returned from Wuhan ...
Scanning electron micrograph of SARS virions. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is the disease caused by SARS-CoV-1. It causes an often severe illness and is marked initially by systemic symptoms of muscle pain, headache, and fever, followed in 2–14 days by the onset of respiratory symptoms, [13] mainly cough, dyspnea, and pneumonia.
The state has defined its containment cluster in urban areas to encompass 3 km radius, from the location where the COVID-19 positive case is detected. An additional 2 km radius beyond this containment area would be treated as a buffer zone in urban areas, whereas, this buffer radius would extend to 4 km, for the rural areas.
By the first half of June 2020, India's fuel demand was 80–85% of what it was before the lockdown. However the Indian oil minister said that it would take a much longer time for the growth in demand to be restored to pre-COVID-19 levels. [225] Oil prices dropped sharply in 2020 following the COVID-19 pandemic. Demand also fell sharply.
Initial estimates of the basic reproduction number (R 0) for COVID-19 in January 2020 were between 1.4 and 2.5, [58] but a subsequent analysis claimed that it may be about 5.7 (with a 95 per cent confidence interval of 3.8 to 8.9). [59] In December 2021, the number of cases continued to climb due to several factors, including new COVID-19 variants.
