The outbreak of COVID-19 has affected the global economy and the world is now facing the most difficult economic situation by far. This has become a global challenge in which many countries have to succumb to either a full or partial lockdown for the past few weeks to flatten the COVID-19 curve.
Falling prey to COVID-19 even India effectively announced its first Janata Curfew, followed by Lockdown 1.0 to current Lockdown 4.0 – a series of well-coordinated measures to contain and flatten the transmission curve of COVID-19 in India. This has successfully contained the huge population of 1.3 billion people to adhere to the message of “Stay Home” and “Stay Safe”.
