Abstract

The COVID-19 spreads rapidly around the world which has brought a global health crisis. Virus infectivity is mediated by the binding of Spike transmembrane glycoprotein to specific protein receptors present on cell host surface. Studies have noted that some ABO blood types are more susceptible to COVID-19 virus infection. The present survey-based study aimed to further confirm the relationship between different blood groups and COVID-19 infection. The survey is carried out in the area of Gautam Budh Nagar, located in Western part of Uttar Pradesh. The present study was started in the month of September, 2000 and finished in the month of January, 2021
