The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus has caused disruption across the world. Containment measures, including lockdowns of cities, extensions of public holidays, closures of public services (e.g. courts), cancellation of events, unprecedented “work from home” arrangements, international travel restrictions and quarantine measures are having worldwide impacts. Even as governments all over the world are scrambling to control the coronavirus outbreak, the disaster that this pandemic has brought along with it has impacted the socio-economic viability of all strata of society.
The challenge today is to strive towards a higher level of understanding between the central government, state governments, panchayats, corporate sectors, civil societies, and citizens to ramp up the preparedness for mitigating the damage and expanding the cure.
