With coronavirus cases increasing in the country, a majority feel that the 21-day nationwide lockdown, scheduled to end on 14 April, should be extended further.
A recent survey by a national agency showed that 88 per cent of the respondents are refraining to order food online during the lockdown period.
Lockdown is the best way to practice social distancing and curb the spread of the coronavirus, opine many according to the findings of the survey.
Remember the Odisha government on Thursday decided to extend the lockdown period till 30 April to combat the Covid-19 outbreak. It also decided to keep the educational institutions closed till 17 June.
Maharashtra is the worst affected State so far followed by Tamilnadu. The worry on extending the lockdown is the fate of unorganised workers and those living below poverty line. Though efforts are being taken to ensure their well-being, yet reaching them is difficult. Hope the government take necessary measures in case of extending the lockdown.
