Patterns of Covid19 spread in India

Abstract

We have analyzed the COVID19 epidemic data for India and some of its states between March 10 till October 3, 2020. The behavior amongst various parameters and their patterns are studied. We modeled the distributions of various epidemic parameters through multiple techniques such as generalized linear models and SIR. We found that different states are at different stages of the pandemic life-cycle. Our analysis seems to suggest India is not yet gone past its first wave. Given this reality, mitigation measures such as social distancing, wearing masks, cleaning hands can not be overemphasized. We also found that India and states' pandemic behavior varies by a wide margin due to various practices and policies. © 2021 Author(s).
