The second phase of lockdown is currently underway in India which will end on 3 May. People are hopeful that the lockdown will be resolved from May 3 onwards. However, in a special conversation with India Today TV, Richard Horton suggested that India should not be in a hurry to remove the lockdown and should consider lockdown for at least 10 weeks.
Richard Horton said that this epidemic is not permanent in any country. It will end on its own. Work is being done in the right direction to control the virus in our country. He said that if the lockdown is successful in India, then you will see that in 10 weeks this epidemic will definitely end. If at the end of it, the virus stops, then things can return to normal again. Richard Horton said that it is true that the situation is not normal. We have to maintain physical distance. We have to wear masks. Also, one may have to be very cautious about hygiene in private.
Responding to the soon-to-be-closed lockdown date in India, he said, 'I understand that you will have to resume economic activity, but please do not rush for it. If you pick up the lockdown in a hurry and you will have a second stage of the disease which may be worse than the first phase. ' He said that everyone wants to go to work, but I appeal to you not to hurry. Richard Harden said that in such cases you have to go through the very early stages of your lockdown. You have spent a lot of time and effort in your lockdown. Don't waste it Continue this as much as possible. Stir for at least 10 weeks.
Citing the example of China, Richard Horton explained how a mere 10-week aggressive lockdown prevented the transmission of the disease to Wuhan (where the corono virus originated) from China. He said that Wuhan behaved very aggressively about the lockdown and locked itself there from January 23 to the first week of April, eliminating the possibility of the virus spreading. They are becoming normal now. In fact, all epidemiologic models show that they need to do so because this is what the virus's nature is. It spreads rapidly in the population if you do not physically maintain distance.
