This video presents a district-level assessment of COVID-19 risk across India, examining how climatic factors and socioeconomic vulnerability jointly influenced the spread and severity of the pandemic. The analysis covers 623 affected districts and evaluates risk separately for rural, urban, and total populations.
Using a nonstationary extreme value modeling framework, the study shows that climate variables—especially wind speed, followed by relative humidity, pressure, and temperature—significantly influenced COVID-19 case evolution. Strong climate dependence was detected in over 76% of districts, while only a small fraction exhibited climate-independent (stationary) behavior. The results identify high-risk districts and states, with Kerala, Maharashtra, Goa, and Delhi among the most vulnerable. The findings provide high-resolution risk maps and actionable insights to help policymakers and public health authorities integrate climate and socioeconomic factors into pandemic preparedness and response strategies.
