WHO Supports lockdown extension in India, suggested ‘Three L’ formula
The corona virus has wreaked havoc on the whole world and has killed more than one lakh people so far. Lockdown continues across the world to prevent the spread of the virus infection. In India too, the 21-day lockdown is ending on April 14, after which it is almost certain to increase for two more weeks. Many states have also implemented lockdown till April 30 but its official announcement is yet to be made by the central government for the whole country.
In such a situation, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said about the lockdown in India that India is moving forward against the second lockdown against the corona virus. According to the WHO, in the second phase of lockdown, not only the transmission of the disease needs to be kept in mind, but also the livelihood of the people will have to be ensured so that they get less injury.
