Spread of Novel Coronavirus(nCov) & Deaths due to COVID-19

Abstract

This study is done in order to find out w er the movement of Migrant workers will affect the spread of Novel Coronavirus as the first case was reported on January 30th, 2020 in the state of Kerala after the return of a student from China. So it is evident that the virus came from a different country and did not originate in India therefore the virus spread in the country through people returning from abroad and coming in contact with people in India. The migrant workers came in contact with these people as the latter is the employer of many of them in many cases before the Government implemented lockdown and thus increasing the danger of spread of nCov among migrant workers which in turn travelled to their native places, risking it even further towards the spread of virus in interior parts of the country. Further the study finds out the dependency of deaths due to COVID-19 upon the health infrastructure. In the research the primary data is collected through the routine Press briefing of the Ministry of Health and family Welfare(MoHFW) which has been collected and compiled from the summary submitted to the ministry b ospitals throughout India. For the number of COVID-19 cases for Germany, India, United states, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, Germany reports from the World Health Organisation were considered as primary sources. Descriptive Research method is used in this project study. The study will enable us to identify the significant impact of the movement of migrant workers and dependency upon the health infrastructure and help identify the factors and solutions to contain the spread of Novel Coronavirus(nCov).
