In some countries, migration to rural areas started a few years ago for various reasons, obviously not for a pandemic. The number of these migrants hasn't been that high though.

As you say, covid19 contributing heavily to this migration.

I know Italy had or still has a project of repopulating deserted villages, selling properties for as much as 1€, but there are strings attached. You don't pay taxes for 8 years but you're obliged to restore the property and keep it in good conditions. This is done to reverse the damage industrialization made years ago, when people left to work in cities.

In a way covid19 will or already does, make people re-evaluate their life and maybe push them out of big cities. Having a homestead helps you survive or live better as well, not just get away of the source of infection.

However, what is important to consider when taking a decision like that is medical care or better yet, the quality of medical care. In countries where the quality of medical care is better in big cities, where you live matters.
