The significant way to prevent the spread of coronavirus is to maintain social distance. This requires the closure of institutions. In this scenario, the closure of beverage shops in Kerala is exemplary. The social impact of such a shutdown may also be direct.
If people violate the closure proposal and the travel ban, the police should act strictly. Grab the vehicle and revoke the license.
In some countries, including the US, the military has been deployed to enforce the shutdown. India has not reached such a stage. To avoid a situation like calling the military people must comply with the government directives.
New Covid cases are reported daily in Kerala. Many are under surveillance. The government should ensure the availability of essential commodities and take stringent action against those who sell at higher prices. Ward level committees should be set up to provide government assistance as the daily wage workers are deprived of income.
Social kitchens that serve free meals are good. But more than that, every home needs to be built up.
