Coronavirus Lockdown
The second wave of Covid-19 has brought India again to a standstill once again. With a mounting pressure on healthcare infrastructure and resurgence of the migrant crisis, it appears as if we are back to where we were last year. In the latest visuals coming in from across the India, medical centres are running out of vaccines, states are going back into lockdown and migrants are heading back home fearing loss of livelihoods.
In such a situation, it becomes imperative to ask whether a lockdown is unavoidable. Due to the spike in Covid-19 cases, Delhi has imposed a six day lockdown. During the lockdown, all private offices, weekly markets, cinema, educational institutes like schools, colleges and coaching centres will remain closed. Only, essential services will remain functional.
