Delhi: 500+ cases
Mumbai: 400+ cases
Kasargod: ~150 cases
Indore, Pune, Chennai, Jaipur: ~100 cases
Thane: ~75 cases
Noida, Ahmadabad, Bengaluru, Kurnool, Kannur: ~50+ cases

India's death toll slope steeper than US at same stage⚠️

Things to note:
- Deaths reported only from hospitals. Many deaths occur whose cause being covid-19 is identified later.
- Watch for general trends. Focus on slopes, not specifics.

@jburnmurdoch @IndianExpress

Using data from @covid19indiaorg as MoHFW data lags state data due to procedural delays in assigning cases to states. Slopes in this chart hence steeper than old cohorts.

@COVIDtracker @ICMRDELHI @drharshvardhan @PMOIndia @MoHFW_INDIA

1,500+ cases from Tablighi Jamaat. Superspreader.
522/571 cases in TN linked to Tablighi returnees.

Data tracking essential to monitor early signs of local transmission.

Extending lockdown is the only way to curb this.
