Background[edit]

The Corona virus started to rise in China at the end of 2019, in the seafood market and quickly started to spread globally. This disease started to rise in December 2019. This disease is extremely contagious and is an air-borne disease. The corona virus has killed over 1.6 million people in the last year. Over 76 million people have been caught with this disease worldwide.[6]

On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China.[7] The WHO was first notified of these cases on 31 December 2019.[7]

The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003, but the transmission has been significantly greater, causing a much more significant total death toll.[8]

Lockdown[edit]

Phase 1 (25 March – 14 April)[edit]

The lockdown restricted people from stepping out of their homes.[9] All transport services including road, air and rail were suspended with exceptions for transportation of essential goods, fire, police and emergency services.[10] Educational institutions, industrial establishments and hospitality services were also suspended.[10] Services such as food shops, banks and ATMs, petrol pumps, other essentials and their manufacturing were exempted.[11] The Home Ministry said: “Anyone who fails to follow the restrictions can face up to a year in jail.”[10]

Phase 2 (15 April – 3 May)[edit]

On 14 April 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing the nation announced that the nationwide lockdown which was supposed to end on 14 April 2020 has now been extended to 3 May 2020.[12]

Phase 3 (4 May – 17 May)[edit]

On 1 May, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the Government of India (GoI) further extended the lockdown period to two weeks beyond 4 May, with some relaxations.[13]

Phase 4 (18 May – 31 May)[edit]

On 17 May, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and the MHA extended the lockdown for a period for two weeks beyond 18 May, with additional relaxations.[14]

Phase 5 (1 – 30 June)[edit]

The MHA issued fresh guidelines for the month of June, stating that the phases of reopening would "have an economic focus". Lockdown restrictions would only be imposed in containment zones, while activities would be permitted in other zones in a phased manner.[15]

On 16 June the Madhya Pradesh state government stated that they will be using pulse oximeters in areas across the state to upgrade the survey and screening of people for COVID-19 virus. A pulse oximeter is a device used to monitor the amount of oxygen contained in the body of an individual.[16]

Quarantine and containment[edit]

In Phase 4 of the lockdown, the state government imposed fines of Rs.2000 (27.29 U.S dollars)[17] on those, violating the home quarantine norms for COVID-19. They also stated that on violating it for the second time they would be shifted to the government quarantine center.[18]

Public Health[edit]

Medical professionals were sent for national training on Covid. Preparation of hospitals for the treatment of COVID-19 including postponing elective surgeries, ensuring an adequate supply of PPE kits.[24] To grant certain rights to establish effective control over outbreak-affected areas and take swift actions, section 71 of the Madhya Pradesh Public Health Act, 1949 was invoked. This section of the Act provides all Chief Medical and Health Officers and Civil Surgeon cum Chief Hospital Superintendents rights set out therein.[25]

Economic Impact[edit]

The state government is carrying out a more targeted demolition of the existing labour laws. These new rules are aimed at significantly reducing the regulatory processes a business has to undertake.[26] In addition to that, the state government lets companies hire contract workers for a longer duration, allowed them not to recognize trade unions for collective bargaining in a number of sectors such as textiles, cement and auto, and does not provide any mechanism for raising industrial disputes for new firms.[26]

There has been a major change in the use of industrial oxygen. The government restricted the use of industrial oxygen. The government made rules to have the oxygen convert from industrial use to medical use.[19] There has been a positive impact because of this. There is a surplus of about 20 metric tons of oxygen. The supply that they have is about 180 metric tons and there is only a demand of about 110 to 120 metric tons.

Vaccination[edit]

Madhya Pradesh, citizens have the option to get the vaccine. The vaccine that they use is called the Covishield. This vaccine has two doses and the doses have to be given 12 to 16 weeks apart.[19] As of May 16, 2021, Madhya Pradesh has reached and succeeded its goal of 179,000 people vaccinated to 182,378 people vaccinated.[19]

The Government of India, suggested both doses of the vaccine should only be given to those who are from the ages of 18 to 44. The second dose of vaccine is suspended to those who are 45 years or older.[19]
