“In any case, most significant thing is to secure the provincial regions (from COVID-19) since 66% of India is in rustic regions, and the transmission of the infection is low there in light of the fact that versatility is low, Reddy said. A few prudent steps must be taken so as to contain the infection in light of the fact that the danger of transmission will absolutely increment with the lifting of the lockdown.
