In order to control the corona virus infection, when the first 21-day lock-down was announced across the country, we hoped that this period would be sufficient to defeat the corona virus, but before the 21-day period was complete, we It was realized that during this period, the progress needed to prevent corona infection could not be made, so the lock down would have to continue till 3 May. By the time the date of May 3 arrived, by then the Corona infection had spread so much that by extending the lock down to May 17, we got ready to control the growing infection of the Corona virus and before the date of May 17, we It was agreed that now we should get into the habit of living with Corona. Nevertheless, at that time we considered it appropriate to continue the lock down with many concessions. It is obvious that we had no option left. Now coming to the close of May 31, the corona infection has taken such a terrible form in the country that we will not be surprised even on the announcement of Lock Down 5.0. Many scientific and medical experts have expressed the apprehension that the corona infection within the country will peak in June and July. In view of this, we should now accept that perhaps the need for lock down will continue to be felt till July.It is worth mentioning that when the first 21-day total was decided in the country, the number of corona infects inside the country was around 6 hundred and today this figure has reached above one and a half lakhs. Who would have thought at the time that the corona virus in the country would have put nearly four thousand infected people to sleep in two months. Even though we keep giving our hearts the false comfort that we have made a habit of living with corona but bitter The reality is that the increasing scope of corona infection in the country is now scaring us. Now that there are no more days left for the fourth phase of the lock-down to be completed, then we also have to consider how much success we have had in overcoming the corona infection in a period of about two and a half months. After closely assessing the situation, we feel so relaxed that the rate of recovery of corona infects in the country is constant.
Increasing and the higher this rate, the more the fear of corona will also come out of people’s minds. This is a huge success in itself and this success will give us the power to make a habit of living with the corona.
We also have to believe that since our ability to conduct more and more tests to detect corona infection has also increased rapidly in these two and a quarter months, the number of corona infections in our country is increasing. But our real test is to know how much success we are getting in preventing the spread of corona infection. Due to the rapidly increasing cases of corona infection, our entire system has been shaken. The corona crisis is not only a matter related to our health services. This crisis has shaken our economy, it has also affected the fields of education, agriculture, culture, rail, transportation etc. The state governments, which had earlier taken the decision to increase the lock-down at their level, are also forced to face the situation of confusion. It has now become a common belief that when we are not getting the desired success in our efforts to stop the spread of corona infection, we should consider the strategy of slowly coming out of the lock down. That is why now the state governments are taking more interest in increasing the concessions as well as increasing the duration of the lockdown, but it is also true that we need to make the vigilance as much as we were before in terms of severity of corona infection. | It may be considered appropriate to increase the concessions to make everyday life normal, but if we do not increase vigilance in proportion to the concessions, then we have to be ready to pay a huge price for these concessions. At the same time, the countrymen have guessed that the role of Lock Down 5.0 has also been prepared and the discussion has started about how different the color from Lock Down 4.0 to Lock Down 5.0 should be.It is also worth noting that this time the Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s clear role in taking decisions related to lock-down is clearly visible. In the discussion with Chief Ministers of various states last day, he asked for their suggestions to form a lock-down. It is noteworthy that prior to this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi used to discuss with the Chief Ministers of the States through video conferencing before taking any decision regarding Lock Down, but now the Prime Minister has given the responsibility to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah that the Chief Ministers Communicate with The Union Home Secretary will also hold discussions with the Chief Secretaries of the State Governments and after that the format of Lock Down 5. 0 will be decided. When the fourth phase of Lock Down started, the Red, Orange in terms of severity of Corona infection And the right to classification in the green zone was given to the state governments, similarly the right to increase the concessions was also given to the state governments to a large extent, although this right could be exercised only by bringing the information of the center. The government offices were also opening with a fixed presence. Work was also started in the industry. The process of opening most shops outside the Red Zone and the Containment was also started, but it was decided to keep religious places, park materials, saloons and school colleges closed. Now from places of worship in many states.
There is a demand to remove the ban and to change the opening and closing hours in view of the scorching heat. There is no doubt that it is difficult to continue the lock down indefinitely but the way the lockdown is being foreseen by the scientists and experts in the medical field is expected to become more serious in the next two months. We have to accept the compulsion to continue in one way or the other. Like Lock Down 4.0, getting on to more concessions in Lock Down 5.0 can be an added pleasure for us, but this happiness can only last as long as we continue to discharge our responsibilities with honesty.
