Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Delhi have been the most seriously-hit spots by the virus.
A Seroprevalence study conducted in the capital Delhi has discovered that around 22-23% of Delhi population has been infected with the virus, which led doctors to believe that India is in a good position as 23% Delhiites have developed an anti-body, which might help pave the way to control the virus spread in the future.
