Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh may be continuing to witness an increase in Covid-19 cases with the return of migrant workers to their native places, but the Centre has expressed satisfaction over the recovery rate among patients in these three states exceeding 50% and over key urban centres showing an improvement on this count.
MP has reported a 51% recovery rate among Covid-19 patients while Rajasthan has done better at 54% and UP is the best among the three states with a 56% recovery rate.
