After a worrisome surge in the R-Value of Covid-19 across India last month, researchers now claim that the R-value of the virus has dropped below 1. The R-value, which is an indicator of the speed with which the virus is travelling, dropped to 0.92 by mid-September after spiralling over 1 by August-end.
The R-value of states with Maharashtra and Kerala, the states with the highest number of Covid-19 cases, has always dropped.
