Abstract

We are in the middle of a pandemic of COVID-19. Objective of the study is to study the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in India and its comparison to SARS-CoV and Spanish flu.Data used are primarily obtained from Worldometer, WHO and CDC. We have plotted bar and line charts based on MS-Excel.Comparative evaluation of COVID-19 data of India and World has been done which shows that with COVID-19 containment and mitigation strategy the total number of recovered patients is increasing day by day and surpassing total number of active infection in India as well as world.With continued non-pharmacological measures like social distancing, hand hygiene, judicious use of mask and effective lockdown, would definitely prove helpful in battle against COVID-19.
