Governments, healthcare workers, public servants, corporate and civil society all are trying to contain the spread and find a permanent fix for the virus. Thus far, lockdown of cities and in several cases of the entire nations has been the most common strategy adopted by the governments across the world to prevent the spread of virus. In India, the nationwide lockdown announced on 24 March 2020 entered its fourth phase (Lockdown 4.0) on 18th May. The success of lockdown in containing the spread of virus is evident from the data available at various platforms which is further proven especially when the number of infected persons and deaths are compared with coronavirus cases and people succumbed to infection respectively in other countries, especially the developed nations.
