Abstract

The current global pandemic of COVID-19 necessitates a public health strategy with more emphasis on epidemiology, especially with regards to understanding the causes as well as identifying appropriate population based behavioral and educational programs. However, the virus does not differentiate between rich-poor or rural-urban dichotomies. It is particularly a threat to a country like India, where 65– 68% of the population live in rural areas that also have the highest overall burden of disease globally. The corona virus disease has various negative consequences on various section of society.
