HYDERABAD : India’s covid-19 case numbers are going up relentlessly and our cities have become dangerous hotspots even after a stringent lockdown.
After all that has been tried and tested, the question remains the same as in January: Is there life beyond lockdown in the age of covid-19?Breaking ranks with the rest of the country, Chennai announced a fresh lockdown this Tuesday for the city and its neighbouring districts.
Ironically, Chennai is where the number of dead is the least among major cities. Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Pune and Delhi are all far worse off.Nearly half of India’s identified novel coronavirus cases sill trace back to just five districts—Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Thane and Ahmedabad.
