The time we are living in right now is the age of the Coronavirus crisis which led the Government of India to lock down everything. Excluding the basic necessities like food, milk, medical, media, and security, nothing is functioning as the strict rules and regulations are keep following in the country to stop Coronavirus. India will be following lockdowns rules and regulations until 14 April. The idea behind this major step is various countries that are doing the same to curb the
Coronavirus and save its people.
China, who brings this disease to the whole world has controlled the situation by the two-months lockdown in their country. The country says that all the new cases which have registered in the hospitals are coming from abroad. Thus this makes India continue its 10 days lockdown to 21 days to cleanse the disease from its country.
