ABSTRACT
COVID-19 pandemic has devastated large urban areas across the country. Most rural areas have so far been able to avoid the initial surge in cases due to the low population density. However, as the pandemic advances, rural areas are at an increased risk for the second wave of the epidemic. Rural areas are especially vulnerable due to the older population, higher comorbidities, and lack of access to healthcare. This field report discusses the experiences and issues faced by the rural Appalachian community during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
