Abstract

With the ongoing global COVID 19 pandemic a lot of assessments are being made with respect to its impact
in form of associated fatality due to this infection. Further many studies worldwide have been conducted
proposing different case fatality rates by the same disease. The realistic assessment of the case fatality by
this virus could be helpful in assessing the risk of death by this virus as well as the variations between
the fatality amongst various states and UTs based upon their preparedness and deployment of measures
in place to reduce the fatality. This article discusses risk of deaths in various states and UTs in view their
individual case fatality rate, emphasising more focus on them.

Keywords: COVID 19, CFR, IFR, States and UTs, Preventive measures, Treatment strategies.
