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. It is important to realize that the pandemic of COVID-19 has initially happened in welldeveloped countries that have achieved the so-called health transition. However, the virus does not differentiate between rich-poor. It is particularly a threat to a country like India, where 65-68% of the population lives in rural areas that also have the highest overall burden of disease globally
