TOWARDS A NEW NORMAL: ON UNLOCK 3
*1). CONTEXT
The Centre announced further relaxations in the lockdown pandemic although the numbers are unrelenting- the third phase from August 5.
nearly 17 lakh-India third among countries with highest number of cases
With over 36,000 deaths, India’s case fatality rate of 2.16% is relatively low
*2). AN ANALYSIS
*a)possibility of wider prevalence indicated in serology surveys suggests that the death rate could be even lower than current estimations.
*c) overworked health-care professionals experiencing fatigue and the public showing impatience with restrictions are on rise.
utmost vigil must continue.
*d)complete lockdowns that disrupt economic activities cannot be sustained over long periods of time.
Gyms and yoga centres, but not educational institutions, metro rail, and large gatherings-allowed in the next phase.
e).Movement of people and goods across borders will be easier as per the Centre’s guidelines.
Random restrictions on movement such as - Tamil Nadu, an e-pass is required for intra- and inter-State travel, must now be done away with

certain measures are evidently helpful in managing the pandemic better and bringing fatalities down
*b) disease spread uneven within the country& responses of States and cities also remained inconsistent
*g)coming phase of unlocking must prepare the country for complete opening.
testing should be unlocked and made available on demand as close to home as possible
wider and cheaper availability of testing
early diagnosis of infections- go a long way in containment
