Background: Mainland France has been seriously affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, which has brought significant and unexpected morbidity and mortality. Precarious people cared for in accommodation centers are particularly at risk of infection because of collective housing, their dependence on the support system and therefore their difficulty in applying barrier measures. These populations are also subject to a risk of more severe infections or a delay in seeking treatment. This study aims to identify the factors associated with SARS-CoV2 infection in the most vulnerable populations in Marseille.Methods: The sample on which the study was carried out consists of association users, whether or not presenting a symptomatology suggestive of Covid-19, and routinely treated between March 2020 and May 2020. Through univariate and multivariate analyzes, we studied the influence of several variables on morbidity attributable to SARS-CoV2. Results: 64 participants were enrolled in the study with 29 cases and 35 control subject. Median age was 21.16 years old with a younger age in the case group (p < 0.005). Sex ratio was 7. Risk factors of SARS-CoV2 in multivariate analysis were living in a shared apartment and a low compliance for distancing measure. Participants presented frequent mental health problems such as anxiety. Conclusions: The allocation of housing to structures involved with the most precarious people appears to be a decisive factor in the fight against the spread of SARS-CoV2 and therefore deserves more attention from public authorities.

“…Poor accommodation and social isolation within congregated settings is a common challenge and almost impossible to overcome (Banerjee & Bhattacharya, 2020;Benavides & Nukpezah 2020;Conway et al, 2020;Coughlin et al, 2020;Dorney-Smith et al, 2020;Dotson et al,2020;Shi et al, 2020;Wasilewska-Ostrowska, 2020). Congregated settings rarely provide for the ability to physically distance, which, in turn, can create health risks Duber et al,2020;Gowda et al, 2020;Lewer et al, 2020). Indeed, a number of cases of COVID-19 outbreaks have been reported within homeless shelters and encampments (Baggett et al, 2020;Benavides & Nukpezah, 2020;Tobolowsky et al,2020).…”

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has affected all our lives but did not affect all parts of societies equally. This study uses a systematic literature review approach to examine the experiences of homeless populations during COVID-19. Our literature review identified lessons learned and promising practices from the field at a global level, and summarizes academic studies in order to promote future efforts to prepare homeless populations for potential extreme events in the future. Forty-one of 209 articles were selected to prepare this literature review. Following the academic database search, grey literature from various organizations were also identified to enrich the literature results and analysis. Findings from these articles were grouped under three main themes to better illustrate the results: (1) impact of COVID-19 on people experiencing homelessness (PEH), (2) support mechanisms, and (3) promising practices. A comparative approach also was used to examine how PEH responded during two previous pandemics (severe acute respiratory syndrome [SARS] in 2003 and Swine Flu 2009) compared to the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings showed that there was continuous improvement in the disaster preparedness for PEH during COVID-19 when compared to past pandemics. In addition, promising practices have emerged. However, ongoing issues, such as lack of personal protective equipment (PPE), staff shortages, and communication problems, still persist in the field. More research regarding PEH during pandemics is needed, and their voices should be included.

“…With roads abandoned, they currently even have no habitation for begging. Many health specialists said the homeless are among the most at risk from the virus or pandemic as many previously suffer from infections such as tuberculosis, and their morbidity rates are sophisticated than for the common population (Gowda et al 2020).…”

Mortality ratio, the relation between active and death cases, active cases and recover cases in India are calculating corona affected data. The results show that death cases were high in the second wave of coronavirus in India. The correlation between daily death and new cases was strong positive (R2= 0.9306). The relationship between recoveries and death was stronger positive (R2=0.9832). The daily death and active cases collation indicated that strong positive (R2= 0.9703). The COVID-19 is dangerous to people's health. The virus is more life-threatening and if people will not follow the WHO guidelines, and it strength demonstration additional havoc very shortly.
