Q11) From the results of the study, it is found that the average recovery time of
Covid-19 patients in India is 25 days (95% C.I. 16 days to 34 days). Only 4% of

female patients is not statistically different. Recovery time of patients belonging to
different age groups is also not statistically significant.
