Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is a field of data analysis used to visually represent the knowledge embedded deep in the given data set. The technique is widely used to generate inferences from a given data set. Data set of current pandemic, the COVID-19 is widely made available by the standard dataset repository. EDA can be applied to these standard dataset to generate inferences. In this paper, data visualization technique is applied to the dataset and is used to formulate patterns for

A Web application tool called Jupyter Notebook is used to generate graphs using python language as it consists of libraries which are used for the process of EDA and the visualization is depicted for the attributes showing higher correlation. Based on the graphs obtained, we can draw conclusions from the current situation based on the data available, understand why a certain variable is increasing/decreasing with respect to another and what can be done to improve the drawbacks found.
