Abstract: In rural areas with low economic level and weak environmental control, the spread of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) impacts on agricultural and rural development. This study analyzed the relationship between COVID-19 prevention process and rural living environment renovation, and explored the major influences of the former on the latter. It is found that there are risks of virus proliferation in rural living environment, such as rural garbage accumulation, improper sewage treatment, the substandard disposal of toilet waste and imperfect infrastructure construction. Transportation restrictions not only effectively curb the spread of COVID-19, but also delay the renovation of rural living environment work. Meanwhile, the spread of the COVID-19 has limited farmers' activities in the short term. Therefore, this paper proposed to improve the rural living environment improvement system and the technologies to effectively control the spread of COVID-19, and promote the improvement of rural living environment and upgrade the life quality of farmers, which lay a solid foundation to restore farmers' lives, agricultural production and rural development after COVID-19.
