New Delhi: A lockdown was introduced in India soon to deal with the corona epidemic, and the cut-off was over in a matter of days. That’s why the expected results are completely different, “said Nobel laureate economist Abhijit Banerjee. “Lockdown was announced in India on March 25,” he said. But after four hours, a severe lockdown was imposed. The government did not expect such a crisis, as it did not have any information on migrant workers. He acknowledged that their numbers were not enough to defeat Lukashenko’s government, but said that maintaining some independence was not the answer. According to Abhijit, we soon announced the lockdown.
If the lockdown had been known to be implemented for a short time, it would have been enforced once the infection spread. There would have been a lockdown until the infection had subsided. But without doing so, we launched a lockdown very quickly and opened the lockdown as it was not possible to keep people indoors for a long time. “That’s why the results of the lockdown were very bad,” he said. “There has never been a facility for migrant workers to stay,” he said. They always lived in the project area under construction. “When the project stopped, they couldn’t find a place to stay,” he said.
