Abstract
Using district level demographic variables from three states of India, we show how corona cases are correlated. We find that districts with high population density, international airports and high population are positively correlated with Corona cases. We also see a negative correlation with Sex Ratio. This study can have implications for policymakers to decide which districts to lock down.
