India / Coronavirus threat is not yet over early unlock may affect India Expert

New Delhi: Amidst a slight reduction in the havoc of Corona, many states have started preparations for 'Unlock'. However, experts related to different fields are not in favor of further relaxation in the lockdown. He says that no such step should be taken in a hurry, which will have to be repented later. All the countries of the world including Germany, Britain, Italy are alive and aware of how deadly the ban can prove to be before the corona infection is completely brought under control. All the research done internationally also shows how effective the lockdown is in preventing infection from becoming uncontrollable.

What do experts say about restrictions and corona

1. Center should decide the relaxation of restrictions: Vikram Singh, former DGP, Uttar Pradesh

Many countries, including Britain, have not yet fully unlocked. The second wave in India has had an impact later. In such a situation, there is no need to unlock at all. Corona cases may have started to decline, but there has been no significant difference in the number of deaths. In such cases, lockdown and unlock related matters should not be done at the state level. These decisions should be made at the center level. Once unlocked, it is feared that the cases will start growing again. Also, now that people have become accustomed to these restrictions, then no such step should be taken in haste, which they may regret later. The unlock process begins when the corona reaches the verge of ending.

2. The danger has not been postponed, the fatalities are fatal: Naresh Trehan, Chairman, Medanta Hospital

- The process of unlocking should begin, but there should also be full warning from the governments that a lockdown will be imposed again if the Corona Protocol is not implemented. The danger is not yet averted. Neither the number of corona patients is stagnant nor deaths. In such a situation, one should not unlock as quickly as the previous wave of Corona.

In the initial phase, only the most important things should be opened. Restrictions on malls and crowded places should be relaxed at the earliest. Wherever it is unlocked, there is strictness there, only then the situation will be prevented from becoming uncontrollable. People will also have to understand that if we still do not take necessary precautionary measures to prevent corona, then more damage is sure to happen.

3. Restrictions should be imposed as soon as the case grows: Yogendra Kapoor, expert in economic affairs

-Initiating the unlocking process in some states in a phased manner is a perfectly fine step, but at the same time there should be a condition that as soon as the corona cases increase, a restriction is imposed. The second wave of corona has been dealt with in a similar way across the world. As the cases progressed, a lockdown was put in place and the cases started to be relaxed as soon as they were reduced.

However, India cannot be compared with other countries, because there has to be harmony between the life and livelihood of the people. Central and state governments cannot impose lockdowns for long. It is important in the country that rapid immunization should be done along with unlocking, so that people can develop a protective shield against corona and reduce the pressure on the health infrastructure.
