How countries are coming out of lockdown: Until the vaccine for COVID-19 is prepared, social distancing is the most effective ‘cure‘ for this epidemic.
In view of this epidemic spread by Coronavirus, it is being propagated in most of the affected countries that ‘safe distance is rescue‘.
In order to effectively implement social distancing, most of the countries affected by the transition to Corona chose the path of lockdown, be it Asia, Middle-East, Europe, or America.
Now the countries which feel that the ‘peak’ of this epidemic has passed, are making a strategy to end the lockdown. The 21-day lockdown began with the end of the Janata curfew in India on March 22.

The Government of India has said that after April 20, some areas of the country will be given conditional exemption from lockdown after taking stock of the situation.
