Significantly, in the months of April and May this year, the entire country saw the devastating form of corona and the alarming spike of infection rate. People had to wander from door to door for hospitals and oxygen. Most of the states and union territories had to impose strict lockdown once again to prevent the infection of Kovid-19.
Since then there has been some improvement and there has also been some decrease in the death rate graph. However, there are still some states including Kerala, Maharashtra where corona cases have seen a boom again. In such a situation, the Health Ministry does not want any laxity in the festive season.
