Odisha state (Eastern India) is now passing through a crucial period with a huge number of corona positive cases with high degree of mortality and morbidity. The aim of the present study is to correlate the demographic, clinical and radiological profiles of Covid-19 patients. The present study was carried out in the Covid-19 Hospital of S C B medical college Cuttack. This was a record based cross sectional study of 196 patients from 01/05/2021 to 01/06/2021.
