How to fight Covid-19?

The following acts are some long term measures:

• Wear a mask outside your home i.e. while walking on the road, while using public transport, while working amongst other people, etc. No need to wear a mask at home, while traveling with family in an AC car, etc; unless you are infected.
• All visitors to your home should wear a mask. They should wash their hand when they come into your house.
• Wash hands after returning home, after touching anything possibly infected, etc.
• Use hand-kerchief or elbow while sneezing, when not wearing a mask.
• Avoid touching other people outside your home e.g. Use Namaste instead of a handshake.

Lockdown of non-essential activities is a short term measure that can be used if the infection rate is very high in that area. It is not a long term measure.
India is currently under lock-down, even though the infection rate is unknown in India because very few tests have been conducted. India needs to

1. End the lockdown soon.
2. Conduct large scale testing.
3. Enforce mandatory masks in public transport, on roads, in offices, etc. People violating this rule should be punished.
4. Make face mask mandatory for people in gatherings e.g. Wedding ceremony, religious activities, construction activities, etc.
