Abstract
The COVID 19 pandemic continues its havoc over the last six months in India. The present study of the initial phase of illnesses in mild to moderate cases of SARS-COVID is the rampant community transmission. This observational and cross-sectional study aimed to analyse and correlate the socioeconomic and demographic parameters with clinical and psychosocial presentations of the COVID disease through a questionnaire-based interaction Mild and moderate COVID positive patients with stable hemodynamic were enrolled for the study. The findings revealed that of the 179 patients, the majority of patients were adults below 60 years of age group, followed by the older age group above 60. Males had a slightly higher preponderance than females. The majority of people in their families were medium to big and overcrowded, lacked social distance and poor hygiene practises were partially attributable to bad social economic conditions. Most of the patients originated from the red area, i.e. high-risk zone, as well as the high level of transmission of COVID illnesses to human beings. The majority of patients were in the poor and lower middle classes (Kuppuswamy modified scale).Most of the occupations of COVID patients involved the lower strata labour jobs. Fifty percent of patients had no symptoms at onset and remained asymptomatic throughout the illness. There were many issues and insecurities in most patients relating to the current illness, future well-being of families, job and financial concerns that warrant strategies to be implemented during and in post COVID era.

It spread fast to our Indian people through travellers from those nations, swallowing up the industrialised countries like as Italy, Great Britain, and the USA with significant morbidity and death [1]. COVID 19 continues with serious morbidity and death to cause havoc today. A new coronavirus, known as COVID 19 or SARS CoV19 [2], was found to be the acute respiratory sickness. It has unabated dry toxin, high-quality fever and other viral symptoms [3] and fewer individuals have dyspnea, which may be severe [4]. An observational research with maximum COVID cases. Socioeconomic variables were investigated and the relationship between them was linked through the Kuppuswami Index and the psychosocial effect of the illness [10]
