The study was conducted by retired civil servant K.C. Saha and published by the Patna-based Asian Development Research Institute.
There had been no major spread of the COVID-19 pandemic because of migrants in Patna district of Bihar but “lack of awareness about social distancing and wearing of masks by people resulted in the quick spread of the virus”, said a sociological study. Marriages and other social functions too contributed largely to this spread, added the study “Learning From COVID-19 cases — A Sociological Study of Patna District, Bihar” done by retired civil servant K.C. Saha and published by the Patna-based Asian Development Research Institute (ADRI). Over 25 lakh migrants had returned to Bihar during March 2020 and June 2021 from across the country and were said to be the carrier of the deadly virus.More Related News
