44% of all cases last week from Kerala and Maharashtra

More than two out of every five fresh Covid cases in India last week were detected either in Kerala or Maharashtra. The two states did not just account for a bulk of all cases but also recorded a slight rise in infections as against a steep 21% week-on-week fall in numbers in the rest of the country. As a result, the share of Kerala and Maharashtra in India’s weekly cases rose from 38% in the previous week (December 21-27) to 44% in the week just gone by (December 28-January 3).
