COVID-19 Eradication & Its Effects

The Avoid-19 pandemic has hit the nation hard this time due to its human and economic losses. Several deaths have occurred across the country, and post-death rituals have become difficult to practice due to the lack of graveyards and crematorium places. This pandemic has brought the common people on roads who have no money left in their pockets. Migrant laborers are forced to walk because they can't afford transportation benefits. The economy is gradually decreasing day by day and there are no signs of improvement. To eradicate this pandemic from its root we have to move forward keeping a positive approach in mind. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has suggested several measures that people can follow to stay safe.
Following are the measures:
1. Consume a balanced diet
2. Plan a routine
3. Stay hydrated
4. Eat hygienic food
5. Keep yourself active at home
6. Take sound sleep
7. Seek a trustworthy source of information
Practicing their measures would keep you engaged within yourselves and you’ll be safe from the disease.
The covid-19 pandemic has killed people on a huge scale which has led to extreme human loss. In a country like India where we use more labor-intensive techniques over capital-intensive techniques, laborers have suffered a lot due to the sudden lockdown that was announced by the Indian Government. There was no transport which was running at that time, so they could go back to their home. Everything was shut down all of a sudden, and the migrant laborers can on roads. Some of them were even deprived of cell phones and didn’t even know how they would get back to their homes. Many of them had to lose out on their lives due to a lack of food and other facilities.
We often forget that we live in a country where people still sleep on footpaths and nearly 6.4 crore people still don't get a meal twice a day. Illiteracy and poverty still exist in our country with a population of 136 billion.
However, many personalities came out of their houses to help the ones who were in need and didn't have enough money to get back to their homes.
