Which country can be the role model for India in COVID-19 Crisis Management?

By: Vijay Sardana

 Today, India touched 6000 reported cases of COVID19. 

 Many countries reached this sad milestone long before. After reaching 6000 cases, every country adopted a different mitigation strategy. 

 Let us see the outcome of those strategies. 


Based on the analysis of the available data with us. We have concluded the following:

1.  South Korea is one of the most successful country in controlling the spread. New cases per day were 126 per day. All countries should study what South Korea did better than other countries and is able to contain the spread in the most effective manner.

2.  The least effective way of containing COVID19 is in USA. The spread in USA is about 18000 cases per day, after reaching 6000 reported number of cases. What went wrong in USA planning to contain COVID will be studied.

3.  As of today, around the world COVID19 cases are growing at the rate of 21000 per day in last 71 days.

4.  The way things are visible now this growth rate has increased to 75,000 COVID19 cases per day.

The biggest concern:

This has direct impact on medical healthcare facility, stress on medical staff, doctors and emergency services.

The only way we can contain this spread is proactive approach by citizens and very strict control on all forms of movement from infected areas.

Strict Zoning and Compartmentalization is required. 

Containment of the infected locations must not be relaxed till there is no new cases for 14 days in that containment area.

We should also study South Korean model carefully.

    Restricted movement & working within the cordoned area with social distancing may be restored in the areas where there was no case for last 21 days

    Restricted movement & working within the cordoned area with social distancing may be restored in the areas where there was no case for last 21 days.
    But movement must be strictly within the identified area. There should not be any exit or entry from this area.
