With effective Containment Strategy, aggressive testing and standardized clinical management protocols based on holistic Standard of Care approach, the Case Fatality Rate has significantly dipped.&nbsp;<strong>The Case Fatality Rate is progressively falling and currently, it is 2.49%.<\/strong>&nbsp;India has one of the lowest fatality rates in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Under the guidance of the Centre, the State\/UT governments have ramped up the testing and hospital infrastructure by combining public and private sector efforts. Many States have conducted the population surveys to map and identify the vulnerable population like the elderly, pregnant women and those with co-morbidities. This, with the help of technological solutions like Mobile Apps, has ensured keeping the high-risk population under continuous observation, thus aiding early identification, timely clinical treatment and reducing fatalities. At the ground level, frontline health workers like ASHAs and ANMs have done a commendable job of managing the migrant population and to enhance awareness at the community level. <strong>As a result, there are 29 States and UTs with CFR lower than the India average. 5 States and UTs have a CFR of Zero. 14 States and UTs have a CFR of less than 1%.<\/strong>&nbsp;This shows commendable work done by Public Health Apparatus of the country.<\/p>\n<table width=\"582\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\"><strong>Name of State \/ UT<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"108\"><strong>Case fatality rate (%)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"180\"><strong>Name of State \/ UT<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"110\"><strong>Case fatality rate (%)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Manipur<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.00<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">Himachal Pradesh<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">0.75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Nagaland<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.00<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">Bihar<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">0.83<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Sikkim<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.00<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">Jharkhand<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">0.86<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Mizoram<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.00<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">Telangana<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">0.93<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">A&amp;N Islands<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.00<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">Uttarakhand<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">1.22<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Ladakh (UT)<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.09<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">Andhra Pradesh<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">1.31<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Tripura<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.19<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">Haryana<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">1.35<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Assam<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.23<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">Tamil Nadu<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">1.45<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.33<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">Puducherry<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">1.48<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Kerala<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.34<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">Chandigarh<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">1.71<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Chhattisgarh<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.46<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">J&amp;K (UT)<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">1.79<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Arunachal Pradesh<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.46<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">Rajasthan<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">1.94<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Meghalaya<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.48<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">Karnataka<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">2.08<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Odisha<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.51<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">Uttar Pradesh<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">2.36<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"204\">Goa<\/td>\n<td width=\"108\">0.60<\/td>\n<td width=\"180\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"110\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;For all authentic &amp; updated information on COVID-19 related technical issues, guidelines &amp; advisories please regularly visit: https:\/\/www.mohfw.gov.in\/ and @MoHFW_INDIA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Technical queries related to COVID-19 may be sent to technicalquery.covid19@gov.in and other queries on ncov2019@gov.in and @CovidIndiaSeva .<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; In case of any queries on COVID-19, please call at the Ministry of Health &amp; Family Welfare helpline no.: +91-11-23978046 or 1075 (Toll-free).
