Why Kerala has a high rate of recovery from Covid-19

The records of Covid-19 patients who tested positive between March 9 and 20 show Kerala as having a high rate of recovery at 84 per cent.


In all, the rate stands at 17 per cent so far when one takes into account all cases in the state till date.

In comparison, Maharashtra has a recovery rate of 5.5 per cent, while the rate for Delhi is 4.04 per cent.

Healthcare experts have cited Kerala's early identification system and its specialised Covid-care wards as the main reasons behind the state's good recovery rate.

Along with Kerala, Maharashtra has also seen a decent rate of recovery, but it lags significantly behind Kerala in one parameter. As of Apr 6th, Kerala has managed to avert spikes in number of cases since the first spurt in March, but Maharashtra has not been able to do so.

Kerala's rate of sample collection  is higher than all major states, where it lags only behind Rajasthan.
