essay on life after covid -19
Answers
Answer:
the world has survived all pandemics of the past. We are alive and more populous than ever is proof to that. Humans have vanquished past pandemics with much lower degree of medical advancements.
Medical science today is at its pinnacle and it gives confidence that Covid-19 pandemic caused by novel coronavirus or SARS-CoV-2 will be over. And, much before that national lockdown in India will end though it is unlikely to be lifted on April 14.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has hinted at an extension of coronavirus lockdown. Many affected states too have asked the Centre to prolong lockdown. Odisha, one of the least-affected states, has already extended the lockdown till April 30. It is anticipated that on April 11 or 12, PM Modi is likely to make a similar announcement for the country.
The coronavirus lockdown may be lifted after one extension nationwide. But it is likely to happen not in one-go lest a sea of humanity hits the road at once. A graded approach is suggested.
Kerala, the only state with past experience of containing a similar viral outbreak in the times of Nipah recently, is ready with a report by a special task force constituted to frame an exit strategy to end coronavirus lockdown.
Kerala's exit strategy calls for tight surveillance and nominal relaxation to begin with. The special task force recommends that only one person per household should be allowed to go outside and that too for a limited period, say three or four hours.
Further relaxations can happen depending on the progress of coronavirus containment. But relaxation can only be offered if new cases stop in the area.
