As India extends its nationwide COVID-19 lockdown amid a rise in the new cases, this piece illustrates the Indian states that are least impacted by the novel coronavirus outbreak. These are the states that (as on 14th April, 2020) have less than 1 per cent of the country's total COVID-19 cases. This is crucial as, beginning 20th April, the country looks to a limited opening up of certain activities in unaffected or least affected districts, as announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday.
Below is a tabular representation of such states in India and their least impacted districts:
