Administrative instructions for managing COVID 19 pandemic

How to tie down 138 cr Indians. That requires great skill and our bureaucracy has that unenviable skill in abundance. Try reading what is permitted in Red, Orange, Green zones now and try to explain it to yourself or to your wife. You will ultimately end up in knots, which made somebody to remark in Twitter to start a Ministry for Issuing clarifications to these orders.

Govt has taken a tough decision to extend the lockdown by another 2 weeks. Many now are saying incl. Infosys Narayanamurthy that now people will start dying due to hunger more than those who die due to COBID 19. It is a catch 22 situation for Govt. "Damn you do, damn you dont do". Perhaps Govt is planning a staggered exit with the relaxations announced in Orange and Green zone districts.

Some are impractical like 2 passengers in a private car with one driver in the front etc. So if you have to undertake an emergency travel what will you do with your children. Simple is dont travel.

Red zones do s and dont s are inscrutable.Better for Govts. to define Red zones in terms of Wards/streets in cities and taluks/villages instead of districts. Our districts are far and wide and even if there is one corona case some 40 kms aways, I will be penalised because the entire district is flashing red. Govt should move in that direction in couple of days time.Earlier the better.

It is barber shops, salons , gyms that have become contentious. Physical disfigurement due to COVID 19!!
