NEW DELHI: With the enforcement of the 21-day lockdown across the country on the direction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the supply of essential commodities took a massive beating due to the lack of clarity among local administrations over the implementation of various provisions related to the restriction.
In one state, police officers were found stopping any passing motorists and demanding to know why they were outside their homes, also lathicharging them in certain cases without really asking for their identities. In a number of other cities, doctors and nurses have been made homeless overnight, shunned as carriers of the deadly Coronavirus while across India, crowds gathered at food stores and wiped out the shelves.
With 90 new positive cases in a day, India on Wednesday reported 606 confirmed cases of COVID-19, out of which 553 have been reported active, 43 recovered and 10 deaths.
As the number of positive cases continues to rise, a doctor of a Delhi Mohalla Clinic developed symptoms of COVID-19. The authorities have asked the visitors to go for 15-day home quarantine.
A journalist from Bhopal was among the six new COVID-19 patients reported in Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday, triggering panic among the media fraternity as he was present at a press conference of former Chief Minister Kamal Nath here on March 20.
