Does land cover affect the growth rate of COVID-19? Rethinking sustainable habitat from the One Health perspective using data from 12 cities during lockdown in Hubei Province, China

The statistical results indicate that variations in land cover influence the growth rate of COVID-19 cases, suggesting that environmental management, including wetland and wastewater control, agricultural landscape configuration, forest vegetation preservation, and control population density, may help mitigate infectious disease growth. From the One Health perspective, sustainable habitat design and planning strategies and land use policies were proposed for future research.
