Pneumonia in Wuhan has been delayed and the epidemic is severe, and many countries have sacrificed their iron fists to prevent the epidemic. According to the latest data released by the Indian Ministry of Health, the cumulative number of pneumonia diagnosed in Wuhan in India exceeded 5,000. India’s Prime Minister Modi announced on March 24 that India had entered the state of “city closure” on the 21st. Unfortunately, this move did not slow the growth curve of the epidemic. The pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan, India has spread to almost 300 regions of the country and many places in India have announced the extension of the “closed city” period to April 30.

According to the Indian Ministry of Health, India has passed the stage of local transmission and is about to enter a “period of large-scale outbreak that must be stopped.” After the first confirmed case was discovered in Taravi, India’s largest slum, on April 1, Indian authorities immediately closed it and asked people to isolate them in their homes. The host of India’s NDTV television station said that when Talawi slums are generally mentioned, the impression of overcrowding, disorder and density will immediately appear in the mind. Therefore, virus infections in those places are very concerning.

Indian Prime Minister Modi said: “If India does not limit the city for 21 days, it can go back 21 years.” Jager John, former head of the Virology Research Center of the Indian Medical Research Council, said in mid-March that April 15 will be a node for the “possible 10-fold increase” in the number of confirmed cases in India , and Modi also recently adopted. The media shouted that even when National Closing Day expires on April 14, it is “unlikely” to completely lift the shutdown.

After India entered the country’s closure, the number of initially diagnosed cases fluctuated little, but after the media reported that religious groups had assembled in violation of the rules, the number of tests increased and the number of diagnoses also. increase.

According to the Global Times, most of the stores in New Delhi are still closed and almost all of them wear masks. The main intersections in the city center are checked even more rigorously, except in official cars, police, ambulances, etc., few civil cars are on the road. By contrast, control of slums around New Delhi is not as tight, and there are still three or two people who refuse to lead together.

During the closure of India, most street vendors in the capital were not operating, so “online hypermarkets” increased, but the products provided by the platform were still incomplete. An employee of an online shopping platform revealed, “Because the New Delhi city government believes that online shopping helps reduce the risk of exposure, our employees have been allowed to travel during the epidemic. With the increase in online shopping, our sales are better than usual. “

However, the “city closure” caused some public dissatisfaction. Indian practicing attorney Avasti said he had not been away since the city closed. Even if he understood that the government wanted to prevent the epidemic, it would still be unsustainable over time. Some Indian media believe that closing cities across the country may cause low- and middle-income people, and even homeless people, to face even more embarrassing life pressures.

In response, the central government of India and local state governments have taken appropriate action, for example, the New Delhi city government has established 586 free food supply points for vulnerable groups, and the homeless have also They have been located in the Yamuna sports center. However, according to the “India Times”, some Indians traveled back to their home villages, but the local government forced them to “chemical disinfect” and were forced to accept the “sodium hypochlorite” bath. The newspaper believes the government has done so.

“Global Times” also noted that many Indian workers and small vendors living on daily wages, some people receive a small salary of Rs 200 to Rs 500 per day, life after the city closure is unsustainable. Some Indians despaired of starvation, not disease. I can only get one or two loaves and a little rice every day. How can I survive?
