Background: Identifying the relationship between demographical factors with COVID-19 infection could demonstrate some prevention strategies of “possible super-spreaders”.
Aims: To evaluate the correlation between recovery and demographic characteristics of COVID-19-infected patients
Materials and Methods: A descriptive type of study to demonstrate the 200 COVID-19 infections with various demographical variables by using a questionnaire. The survey consisted of 64-close ended queries, including a short summary of the study background, purpose, procedures, privacy contract, and knowledgeable consent form.
For statistical analysis Independent T-test or ANOVA test and SPSS version 25 (IBM, USA) and STATA 15 were used.
Results: The male-female ratio of COVID-19-infected patients is 115:100. 50% of patients have never attended social gatherings before getting COVID-19 infection. Social events were visited by 44% of the participants. 47.24% need hospitalization during the positive period, whereas 52.76% recovered at home. Respondents older than 40 years required oxygen support for recovery (p< 0>
Conclusions: The recovery time of COVID-19 infections is associated with age, profession, and the number of COVID-19 infection times.
