Abstract
The spread of novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as a global matter of concern in the last few of months. It has rapidly spread around the world, which initially began in the city of Wuhan, People’s Republic of China and is hypothesized to originate from the group of Rhinolophus bats. The occurrences of COVID-19 infections are uneven across districts of Nagaland and the same is determined by socio-economic situations prevailing in the region. The paper is an attempt to empirically examine the socio-economic determinants of the occurrence of COVID-19 in Nagaland considering the data as of October 30, 2020. A multivariate regression analysis in a cross-sectional framework was used to analyse the impact of COVID-19 on socio and economic determinants. The findings of the study show a positive significant relationship of human development index, per capita income, returnees from other states, human mobility and below poverty line. The size of returnees and human mobility emerged to be a potential factor and positive in determining the total and new cases of COVID-19. In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, lockdown is the only preventive measure to avert community transmission of this disease, which is having economic, social and psychological effect on the general mass. Therefore, people-centric plan and making people more participatory and responsive in adhering to the social distancing norms in public and workplace and adopting preventive measures need to be focused on COVID-19 management strategies.
