write a short note on the social and economic effect of covid-19 in india
Answers
Answer:
The first case of COVID-19 in India was reported on January 30, 2020. As of April 14, confirmed cases of COVID-19 stand at 10363. While 1035 patients have recovered, 339 have died.
Most of the cases in India are from local transmission, where people either travelled to COVID-19 infected countries, or came in contact with people who had travel history to these countries.
Government believes that the stage of community transmission of COVID-19 has, so far, been avoided by virtue of the steps taken.
The health ministry has said that as per a ‘statistical rate of growth-based analysis’ by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR):
Without a lockdown and containment measures, COVID-19 cases could spiral to 200,000 by April 11, and 820,000 by April 15.
