The first coronavirus case was found on 9 January 2020 at Wuhan, China. After 10 days a total of 60 confirmed cases were found.  After three weeks since its first outbreak on 1st February the figure of confirmed cases rose to 2128, while a month after it was found that the numbers of affected persons were reduced to 1741. But in the middle of March (15th March) the figure started to peak up at 10910 with daily increase of 116 persons. Again after a fortnight the virus started to take a dangerous turn and number of infected persons rose to 72,737 on 1st April with daily increase of 15,134 cases and 26.27 percent daily change. 



On the other hand, first death case took place on 17th January and the number doubled on 21st January.  On 23rd January 8 deaths were confirmed. On first February total deaths increased to 46 and further it reached 143 on 15th February. Interestingly the numbers of daily death cases were reduced to 53 on 1st March. But surprisingly, after a fortnight the number of daily death case reduced a little to 346 persons. Again after another fortnight i.e. on 1st April total numbers of deaths were 4182 persons.
