Can A Lockdown Prevent Spreading of Coronavirus?

Coronavirus is spreading so rapidly that almost the whole world has come to a halt or stopped with no business or no office; there has been no work in many countries. This spread has made people and the government take precautionary measures. This epidemic is taking many lives and even ruining the economies of the countries.

The virus is not having any permanent cure; therefore, countries are going into lockdown. Now the topic of discussion has arisen among people, which is: Is it worth it? Is the lockdown going to be effective in preventing the spread of Coronavirus?

However, claiming that it is going to be 100 percent effective or very effective would be a very immature call. It is effective because the virus is communicable; therefore, it requires maintaining distance from one another. That’s why, the social distancing term is very prominent among people to maintain their distance and be at home.

If we talk about India, then the lockdown is definitely a great call to minimize the spread of Coronavirus. India is a very densely populated and a very socially interactive country, so this openness will definitely lead India to a very disastrous phase. Therefore, making people stay inside and do their work from home has definitely played its part. Otherwise, conditions would have been very heartbreaking and would have consumed many lives.

Overall, a lockdown is the sole solution to prevent the spreading of Coronavirus. Therefore, in the present scenario, a lockdown should be proposed as a mandatory precaution to save peoples’ lives and prevent the spreading of the virus with rapid speed.
