Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) has taken as many as 86,752 lives and has contaminated the country’s more than 5.4 million population. There are, however, still some areas of the country that have so far not recorded any Covid-19-related deaths.
Besides, due to Covid-19, some states still report slightly lower deaths, suggesting that the virus epidemic has not yet reached every part of the world.
In terms of deaths, here are the five Indian states and Union territories least impacted by Covid-19:
The first state is Mizoram:
Mizoram is the only Indian state to have recorded no death as a result of Covid-19 so far and has among the least number of positive covid-19 total cases.

There are 588 Covid-19 active cases in Mizoram and according to the data released a total of 973 people have recovered.
On two the state is Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu:
