NEW DELHI: Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Goa, Rajasthan and Kerala are among the states with the lowest Covid-19 recovery ratio (number of recoveries for every 100 cases). In these states, less than 80 patients were recovering from the infection on an average as on Friday, lower than the national average of 83.4%.
Delhi has the highest recovery ratio of 92.8% among all states and Union territories, except Andaman & Nicobar Islands where it is 95.4% (with a much lower population and caseload). Arunachal Pradesh, Ladakh and Tripura, with vastly lower caseloads, have a better recovery ratio as do Telangana, Maharashtra, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu — states with more cases. These states, along with UP and Assam, have a recovery ratio of more than 86%.
