In-COV-enience

 

No doubt that the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions are necessary. But, do you think it is practically, a good idea?

As per the restrictions, only provisional stores, and grocery shops would remain open till noon. This actually increases the crowd in every provision and grocery store. Physical distancing has to be followed by the customers, but do we, the Indian customers really follow it?

We all must have experienced this discrepancy and in fact, the shopkeepers have to constantly badger the customers to maintain physical distancing.

Having the stores opened for the whole day, on the other hand, didn’t experience the same rush. Customers could come at any time without rushing and buy products at their ease. Probably physical distancing was easier at that time.

The same applies for a bank too, where 50% employees are only available to attend the same number of customers as during the Pre-Covid period. (In this era of Internet Banking, there are customers who still prefer going to the bank even in the urban areas, and sometimes we have to go for certain things!)

In my view, the Government should probably look over these aspects before imposing such restrictions.
