India's lockdown, the world's most stringent, has had a devastating impact on incomes of poor and daily-wage workers in Delhi, but it has led to large and beneficial behavioral changes, showed a study by Energy Policy Institute of the University of Chicago.
The study has observed poor and non-migrant workers in Delhi and the widespread compliance with public health directives, which are a must to reduce the spread of the deadly virus.
India has been under a lockdown since 25 March and is now in the third phase of it, that ends on 17 May. Delhi has one of the highest cases of covid-19 in the country, at approximately 9,000, and 123 deaths.
