Assam vs Odisha, Which State has handled Corona better?
There are a lot of arguments on which state is handling Corona better. Overall, there is a consensus that 3 states are doing a poor job – Delhi, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. However, there is still no clarity on which States are doing the best. So far we found that AP was doing better than UP while Kerala vs Karnataka was a tie.
