India has registered a record new 78k+ coronavirus cases, the world’s highest single-day increase since the pandemic began, just as the government began easing restrictions to help the country’s battered economy.
The surge raised India’s tally to more than 3.5m, and came as the government announced the reopening of subways in Delhi. A limited number of sports and religious events will also be allowed from next month.
all back again the health protocol should remain a priority for easing and new activities. without a high level of awareness from the community, there is no point in the easing, instead it will have a greater impact on transmission.
wearing masks is mandatory, actively washing hands after traveling or touching public facilities, keeping a distance when meeting or gathering, avoiding a long closed room for a long time. this is a protocol that must be done to avoid transmission.
We know that those affected are now without any symptoms and this is the very dangerous thing if the health protocol is not followed. I hope that while waiting for drugs and vaccines, that is the only way to avoid transmission if there is to be relaxation, because indeed the economy also needs to move because the country will be drained of foreign exchange for prevention.
