摘要：This paper aims at identifying key determinants, which influence and motivates households to wash hand on a regular basis with soap and water before taking meal and after open defecation in urban Uttar Pradesh using household-level 76th round NSSO data (July-December 2018). Binary logistic regression model results show households those are having access to safe and sufficient water throughout the year are also more likely to wash their hands compare to those households that don’t have access to water. Therefore, increasing investment in WASH services would act as an important mechanism to mitigate the secondary effects of Covid-19 in communities.
