Government has declared nationwide lockdown to prevent spreading of Corona virus.Most of the countries in the world are still following lockdown
Answer:
If you're in India, perhaps you're asking yourself why authorities have locked down the country for weeks. In fact, even before Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the shutdown on March 24, restaurants and malls were being ordered shut, exams were postponed, and employees who could were being asked to work from home.
[UPDATE: India has since begun diluting its lockdown measures in an attempt to partially reopen the economy, another key concern. The shutdown has been extended to May 31.]
This kind of collective effort at social distancing -- combined with hand and respiratory hygiene practices that reduce the risk of transmission (JUMP TO SECTION), and public health measures like testing and contact tracing -- is crucial in the fight against coronavirus pandemic.
We need to "flatten the curve" of infections. It's pretty simple. Imagine a graph that plots the rise and fall of coronavirus cases over time. What you don't want is a steep peak in a very short amount of time -- one that could overburden the healthcare system. Think about Italy: a Reuters report from March 17 described how hospitals in the country's north had been "crippled" by the coronavirus, with their ICUs "under colossal strain".India's low volume of testing has fuelled concerns that it belies the true number of infections in the country. Data show that as of March 20, India was conducting a little over ten tests per million people, while several countries were testing thousands. That same day, it expanded its testing criteria to include all hospitalised patients with severe acute respiratory illness, and soon allowed private labs to do tests. Experts have flagged concerns that the coronavirus could already be spreading widely enough to make pinpointing sources of exposure difficult -- a phenomenon known as community transmission. The government says India's outbreak isn't quite that severe yet.
