States prepare migrant movement plans as Centre claims India on path to win Covid war
Reportedly the Centre of thursday claimed that india has 'gone quite ahead' on its way to winning the war against Covid-19. The statement from Union health minister harsh vardhan came as his ministry claimed that India's coronavirus recovery rate has reached 25 per cent with just 3.2 per cent mortality rate, even as the toll from the deadly virus neared 1,100 and the national tally climbed to over 33,600.
Union health minister harsh vardhan said india is doing better compared to other countries on all parameters in its fight against Covid-19 and should be able to win this decisive war in the coming few weeks. Meanwhile, the states began preparations to help lakhs of migrant workers and students reach their homes from different parts of the country where they are stranded for over a month due to the Covid-19 lockdown.
As the nation nears the end of the Lockdown 2.0, the economic fallout of the strict restrictions has started to become increasingly visible. A study by the international Labour Organisation has claimed that almost 50 per cent of the global workforce data-faces job loss. Its effects in india are also increasingly visible as industry experts say it will take around six quarters for several industries to get back on their feet. Even as india reported 1,823 new cases and 67 deaths due to Covid-19, the Union health Ministry claimed that india is on the path of victory as the recovery rate has reached over 25 per cent.
