STEPS TAKEN BY INDIAN GOVERNMENT FOR CONTROLLING COVID 19
Explanation:
The world is currently fighting COVID-19, which has nearly 8,00,000 confirmed cases and caused over 42,000 deaths globally. What started in China has caused a global upsurge, with India alone registering over 1390 cases of which 35 have succumbed to the virus. In the wake of the rising death toll and under the directions of the World Health Organization (WHO) that declared the novel virus as a pandemic, the Indian Government took stringent actions to detect, treat and reduce the transmission of the virus.
Here are some key steps taken by the Indian government to fight the deadly virus:
Precautionary Steps
While the virus scored globally, the government took proactive measures to control its spread in India. It conducted heavy screenings and mandatorily quarantined incoming International travellers and also conclusively suspended all visas, except for diplomats and employment, till April 15. All cross-national borders were sealed, and railway operations were suspended.
Further, all schools, gyms, malls, clubs, hotels, community halls, etc. were shut. But due to the increased risk of the spread of the virus, on March 24, the Prime Minister announced a complete 21-day lockdown for the entire nation, banning people to move out of their houses. This act, thus, severely restricted the community spread of the virus. However, the downside is that the lockdown is expected to shave off more than Rs. 10 lakh crores from the Indian economy.
Informative Steps
To curb the growing panic and to distribute viable information, the government provides authentic information on the virus, its spread, preventions, guidelines, helpline numbers, registered cases, death tool, etc. on the Ministry of Health’s official website.
