India is no exception. It imposed a 21-day lockdown in the country to lower down the cases. But now, looking at the current statistics, the lockdown is most likely to extend. But further isolation will have some relaxation.
A source near to the PM Modi has informed that he has asked the ministers to come up with a plan to resume essential industries while the other people remain in isolation. It is done to support the livelihoods of the poor who are facing the utmost difficulties now.
When asked about this, KS Dhawalia, the government’s principal spokesperson, refused to comment.
Relaxations with Restrictions
Several industries have agreed on the idea of resuming the crucial sectors to avoid any more crisis in the country. Whereas, the authorities are yet to make a final announcement. PM Modi is expected to address the nation regarding further details this week.
Lockdown ravages economy
The Indian Economy has the slowest growth rate in the past six years before the introduction of COVID-19. So, as a matter of concern, it will most likely decline further amid the lockdown as people are losing their jobs and facing survival issues.
The total number of Coronavirus Cases has reached 9000 in the country.
