R value, which needs to stay below 1 for pandemic to end, has dropped in many states, but is still of concern in some. Major cities are also on a downward trend.
The R value for Kerala this week is 1.33, while it is 1.06 for Maharashtra. Mizoram now has the highest R — 1.36 — among the states that have highest number of active cases in India.
