Abstract
The WHO tentatively called the new virus 2019 novel corona virus (COVID-19), which is become a effectively contagious disease in global health concern. India is the world's seventh-largest country, with twenty-eight (28) states and eight (8) union territories. In India, the highest COVID-19 case was recorded on 6th may 2021 which is 4,14,433 cases in the single day. On September 2020th, Maharashtra (11,45,840), Tamil Nadu (5,25,420) and Delhi (2,34,701) have the foremost COVID-19, and on May 2021st, Maharashtra (51,01,737), Tamil Nadu (13,80,259) and Delhi (13,23,567) have the foremost COVID-19 in India. Also, these states show the high death rate than other states. The positive COVID-19 cases are very drastically increased and death cases in these states due to the high population density. Hand hygiene, social distancing, and quarantine are some of the precautions that must be taken to prevent the virus from spreading in society. By increasing the detecting and testing capacity of the COVID-19 positive patients are also the way to enable the reduction of secondary cases with stricter quarantine rules.
