Abstract: The COVID-19 outbreak has lately had a negative impact on the health and economic well-being of Indians. For better or worse, the purpose of the current research is to determine how the COVID-19 virus impacts rural populations in India's Coastal Andhra area, both mentally and economically. A cross-sectional online survey of coastal Andhra village leaders was conducted to gather information about their experiences with the present pandemic. A total of 998 people took part in the survey, which was conducted in English and Telugu. The descriptive statistics and OLS (ordinary least squares) regression methods were used to analyse the information. In this study, the researchers discovered that the COVID-19 had a significant impact on the health, mentality, and income of the local population. Researchers have discovered for the first time how early health and socioeconomic consequences of the COVID-19 virus outbreak in rural areas, particularly at the household level, are critical for developing effective control measures to contain the outbreak and prevent further harm to the local population.
