The Covid-19 outbreak is still far from easing in India, which has climbed two spots to become the seventh-most affected country in terms of coronavirus cases in the world. Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged people to remain vigilant, maintain a six-foot distance from one another and stay at home as much as possible.
There has been some positive news on the coronavirus fight, with the recovery rate improving from 11.42 per cent on April 15 to 48.07 per cent, and the death rate declining to 2.83 per cent from 3.3 per cent on April 15, according to the federal health ministry.Despite the latest measures, international flights remain grounded, a curfew is in place from 9pm to 5am and educational institutes remain shut, as are metro services.
The government has been criticised over its handling of the lockdown, which has led to immense human suffering with daily wage and migrant labourers losing their jobs and undertaking long and hazardous journeys home on foot as transport was shut down. The cross-country movement is also leading to health concerns over the possibility of the virus moving from urban hot spots to rural areas where a mass outbreak could undermine efforts to contain the virus.
