IN INDIA MORE THE 850 PEOPLE AFFECTED WITH CORONA VIRUS
INDIA is now locked down and loaded flights against the corona virus. PRIME MINISTER
Narendra Modi Tuesday announced a 21-day nationwide shutdown in an effort to break the chain of transmission
As the nation of 1.3 billion people shut down, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said India's covid fight could make or break the global war. WHO said India has a tremendous capacity to deal with the pandemic as it has experience of eradicating smallpox and polio.
India needs at least 38 million masks and 6.2 million pieces of personal protective equipment as it confronts the spread of corona virus, and has approached hundreds of companies to secure supplies quickly, according to a report by the country's investment agency seen by Reuters.
As cases of the illness have risen, so has demand for protective equipment and masks, as well as complaints from healthcare workers about shortages.
India’s fight against the Covid-19 outbreak has been unique. Clampdowns have been imposed much earlier than in many countries, including China, which failed to contain the spread of the virus. But the real test for India, curbing community transmission, has just begun.
While India placed travel restrictions relatively early, and many states quickly shut off access to public places, the country’s high population density, overburdened public health infrastructure, high prevalence of non-communicable diseases and the prospect of transmission from younger people to the elderly in joint families all stack the odds against effective containment.

The number of confirmed corona virus cases in the country has been growing at a rate seen at the early stages in countries where there was subsequently an exponential rise in infections in a matter of weeks.
