When Prime Minister Narendra Modi ordered 1. 4 billion Indians to remain at home, the entire economy stopped in 4 hours, millions of others lost their jobs, and tens and thousands of migrant workers, cashless and fearing famine, left cities to return to unprecedented migration has not only tired India’s economy , but has also spread the virus to the limits of the country.

“While lives are important, livelihoods are equally important,” Rajesh Bhusan, a senior official at India’s federal health ministry, said at a press conference last week.
Nearly 60% of active cases in India come from the states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, but infections also date back to spaces they had controlled to curb the spread of the virus, offsetting marginal gains.
Initially affected by the virus, New Delhi appeared to oppose the trend through competitive patient evaluation, but after regular reopening, the state has reported a recent outbreak of cases and deaths. The reopening of the subway further worsens the stage, experts fear.
The recent increase in the number of cases also highlights the dangers of India’s strategy of relying too much on immediate viral antigens or proteins. These controls are cheap, work in minutes and have enabled India to monitor more than a million patients a day. .
But they are also less accurate and would possibly overlook inflamed people, said Dr. Gagandeep Kang, an infectious disease expert at Christian Medical College in Vellore, southern India.
India claims that its recovery rate is 77. 3% and that the rate of the first case has fallen to around 1. 72%.
