Answer:
The COVID-19 pandemic is now a major threat to global health and economy, the full impact of which is yet unknown. The case load and deaths are gradually mounting in India too, especially over these past weeks. These figures may have been substantially higher if the Government of India had not put in such stringent, pre-emptive containment measures. There is also a clear variation in how different states are handling the crisis, and that difference shows in the numbers of new cases and deaths occurring.
But this pandemic cannot be controlled by governments alone. It needs the participation and passion of all the people of India; and it needs clear, feasible measures that ordinary citizens can undertake to help reduce transmission. The lockdown has probably played a great role in flattening the epidemic curve thus far, but it cannot go on forever. It remains an experimental intervention not just for India, but for other countries as well.
Lack of clarity
With a lack of clarity on what the ultimate benefits would be, and what the implications will be when the lockdown is revoked. Any degree of relaxation could result in increase in the transmission, unless the epidemic weakens substantially, but there is no indication yet of the same. It is therefore important to explore sustainable methods of reducing community transmission.
