For the last few days, the central government would like to ignore the debate of nationwide lockdown amidst a slight decrease or stability in new cases of corona in the country. Government sources say that at present, the corona is under control in more than half of the districts of the country. Many states have limited or complete lockdown. His effect is visible. In such a situation, nationwide lockdown will not only be redundant but will increase the problems for the poor. Obviously, the center is not in favor of lockdown under any pressure.
The central government does not consider lockdown as logical
After the Supreme Court and industrial organizations in the past, there is now a demand from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for a lockdown. Government sources do not consider it logical. According to him, the last time many people ridiculed it during the lockdown, while it was needed at that time because people were unaware of the virus. There was confusion about his treatment. At present, there is a problem with the supply of oxygen or beds, which are constantly being disposed of. This short supply has nothing to do with the lockdown.
With the situation under control in more than half of the districts in the country, what will be achieved by nationwide lockdown?
According to statistics, at present, there are 17 states where there are less than 50 thousand active cases. There are five states where the infection rate is less than five percent. There are other nine states where the rate is between five and 15 percent. If we talk about districts, the situation is under control in more than half of the districts in the country. In such a situation, what will be achieved with the nationwide lockdown? Work is being done in many companies. Exporting. Stopping him will not only improve the situation.
The decision of the lockdown was left to the states
The government says that the decision of the lockdown has been left to the states. Many states have also implemented this. Restrictions have been imposed in Maharashtra. Bihar has also announced a complete lockdown till May 15. Delhi has also been locked since April 9. Apart from this, either lockdown or similar strict restrictions have been imposed in the states of Haryana, Odisha, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Kerala, Jharkhand, etc.
Nationwide lockdown not currently relevant
There is also a guideline from the Center that if the beds are filled more than 60 percent in an area or if the infection rate is more than 10 percent, then it should be made a container zone. Negligence occurred in some states and has also been alerted. It is also expected from the scientists that positive changes will start in the next few days. So nationwide lockdown is not relevant at the moment.
