Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Coronavirus: India to enter ‘total lockdown’ after spike in cases
No one had ever imagined a total lockdown of a country with a population of over 1.3 billion for a staggering three-week period until it was announced and enforced March 25. India is a country where community means a lot to the people. It is an essential part of their daily life to go to worship at a temple, mosque or church, as well as to shop at marketplaces and street shops. Schools and universities have already been closed, airplanes have been grounded, and public transportation services have been stopped. Now people are told not to go out except when they have an emergency or essential business. A total lockdown will surely disrupt their lives economically and socially.
It is believed that social distancing is the best measure to combat coronavirus. While one might feel ok for a few days or a week even after he or she was infected by the novel virus. They could then infect a few people only in a week, and then those who are newly infected will infect a few more people, and then they will infect more and more. That is why practicing social distancing is essential to stop spreading the virus. The prime minister Mr. Modi emphasized the importance and seriousness of the measure by stating it as a curfew.
The question is how strictly the lockdown is going to be observed and enforced.
