Why are there coronavirus cases on the rise in India?
Lockdown failures and violation of physical distancing:
It is true that the country was in the complete lockdown for more than two months, but clearly, each lockdown has failed in containing the infection. It has been observed that India failed in containing the coronavirus spread because our government and authorities didn’t take the situation seriously in the beginning even after being warned many times, the government used this measure or strategy after the country recorded 500 plus cases and that too on very short notice.
Further, The lockdown in India was imposed on the very short notice which created a panic among the citizens who ignored all principles of social distancing and rushed to crowded stores like D-Mart, Reliance fresh, etc to stock up essentials.
Congestion at various places during the lockdown:
As mentioned above, the last-minute decision of the government to impose a nationwide lockdown created a panic and havoc among the citizens, as they didn’t get a chance to prepare themselves. A few days later after the first nationwide lockdown was imposed the principles of social distancing were violated by the migrant workers as there was huge congestion at the Anand Vihar ISBT and above 1 lakh migrant workers were gathered there to return back to their home towns.
After this, The very famous and known Tablighi Jamaat Markaz, where over 2100 people were gathered at the Nizamuddin. After this incident, the spread of coronavirus in India has almost become un-stoppable. What happened is not at all acceptable because when the whole world is suffering due to the outbreak of coronavirus these people didn’t even care about their own lives.
Exemptions given during lockdown have led to more cases:
The exemptions provided to the people during the lockdown to boost up the economic condition of the country is also somewhat responsible for the hike in the cases of the coronavirus, as clearly no social distancing and safety measures are being followed by the people in the public places. people in India are least concern about physical distancing as for them wearing a mask is more than enough to contain the spread of the infection, it has been observed that no social distancing is being followed by the people in local markets and in mandis.
The relaxations and exemptions that were given to certain industries and sectors in the second and third phases of the lockdown. For example, the opening of liquor shops which led to long and large queues of the people near the liquor shops and where the norms of social distancing were violated.
Peoples have become really careless, They were moving out in public places with just a mask, This sight would have been a normal one if it was pre-COVID. But six months of 2020 in, with a pandemic still rising to its peak, the sight was a frightening one. Each lockdown has been failed because the people have violated the principles of physical distancing. And now it is more frightening to see that when the whole nation is in a critical condition where each day 10,000 new cases are being recorded & the government has planned to unlock everything.
This is the reason why India is likely to have the highest number of coronavirus cases.
Thank you so much.
