Resumo
The study examines how literacy affects COVID-19. It has considered state-level recovery to the total tested ratio and fully vaccinated-to-population ratio as two dependent variables; on the other hand, the state-wise literacy ratio and population density have been considered as independent variables. The success against COVID-19 in India has been achieved through digital retaliation along with the spread of information regarding social distancing, vaccinations, curfews, and lockdowns. The results reveal that the literacy rate impacts both the dependency ratios in a statistically significant and positive way. Quantification of the impact of literacy on COVID-19 is the most novel and unique.
