ABSTRACT

Background: We collected data from patients with COVID-19 confirmed between May 25 and July 31, 2021. This was a cross-sectional study conducted by tele-consultation with a sample size of 306 patients. By interacting with patients via questionnaires used to gather required information and analyzed. Materials and Methods: We collected data from patients with COVID-19 confirmed between May 25 and July 31, 2021. This was a cross-sectional study conducted by tele-consultation with a sample size of 306 patients. By interacting with patients via questionnaires used to gather required information and analyzed. Results: Among 306 patients (53.6%) were male and (46.4%) female seen at common age group of 40 -70 years in age. About 76.4% of patients who not get at least single dose of vaccination and Maximum patient’s not had any co-morbidity (64.4%) and others associated with diabetic (19.9%), blood pressure (14.7%), heart problem (5.8%), thyroid (4.8%), and others (9.2%).65% of people had fatigue, (21.9%) increased appetite, (16.8%) cough. We found there is no clear reports of modes of transmission other than family clusters. Conclusion: The study suggests that Although the age range of confirmed cases of COVID-19 almost all age groups, most patients with confirmed COVID-19 tend to be middle age persons. The patients with co-morbidity have more risks outcomes compared with patients without co-morbid condition. Vaccination was helps in reducing the mortality rate and home quarantine may help in preventing further transmission. Family cluster was the most common suspected mode of transmission.
