What is the Janata Curfew and how Is It Use to Save from Coronavirus?
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on Thursday (19 March). In this, he announced that Janata Curfew will be in the country on 22 March i.e. Sunday. The PM said that to prevent the coronavirus epidemic, the public would have to stay indoors from 7 am to 9 pm on this day. He informed that this Janata curfew will introduce us to the process of self-isolation. The Prime Minister had termed the Janata Curfew as a curfew by the people, for the people, at will.
Since the coronavirus has spread and the number of people getting infected with it is increasing all over the world, one thing to note is that the virus is not spread through the air, rather it spreads through contact with the infected person. Spreading comes in contact with the things used by the infected person and touching them, so why don't we create a social distance. Let us stay at home for a few days, do not get out because the virus is not in the stage of community transmission in India, but the government has announced a Janata Curfew on Sunday to fight the coronavirus, taking a fairly balanced, precise and cooperative step.
How Janata Curfew can be used to fight coronavirus?
The main purpose of the Janata curfew is to prevent people from getting infected by coming into contact with someone else. This can be understood by an example. Suppose there are four persons - A, B, C, D
1. Suppose one person is infected with 'A' coronavirus. Since coronavirus has spread from abroad. Therefore, it is very easy to find a citizen who came from abroad. However, suppose that 'A' somehow broke the rules of isolation at home and went to meet 'C'. During this time, on the way, he was approached by an unknown person 'B'. Such connectivity can occur in airports, railway stations, bus stations, public restrooms, taxis, salons, shopping malls, and other congested areas.
2. After coming in contact with "B", A went to meet "C". This 'C' can be his family, friends, companions, neighbors, food delivery, cinema counter staff, and bank cashiers. The government can find out 'C' after interrogating 'A'. No matter how many such people, they can be kept quarantine.
3. 'D' is a person who has not yet left the house amidst the environment of infection and is completely healthy.
4. But the problem before the government and investigators is to find the 'B' from which 'A' came in contact somewhere along the way. Because he does not even know about the infection of 'B'.
5. Suppose 'D' gets out of the house for some work. During this time, he gets in touch with 'B'. In such a situation, he too became infected with the coronavirus. That is, the transition from an unknown person 'B' to his status reached another unknown person 'D'.
In this case, if the 'A' is detected and placed in quarantine, the first 'B' can be prevented from getting infected. But if the infection has spread to the three A, B and C, then all three will lock themselves in the houses through public curfew. In such a situation, the officers will get time to find the 'B'.
Since, it usually takes 14 days for coronavirus symptoms to appear. In such a situation, if people can keep themselves isolated for a few more days through public curfew, then the authorities can easily find all the other victims 'B' within one to two weeks. This will help prevent infection from spreading. That is, people will stay in contact with the house and the risk of infection will be less in others. With this, people who have already been infected with corona will also be able to identify them easily.
According to research, the life span of a coronavirus at any place, that is, in normal language, is called a lifetime, which is twelve hours. Where are the most likely corona outbreaks? In public places. If the curfew is stopped in public places from seven to nine o'clock in the morning i.e. fourteen hours or the movement stops in those places, then the virus life chain will be broken, in which a big advantage will be that our roads, buses, and trains are railing the doors of the office. The lift, the doorknob will be done automatically.
Great ideas can be said, in the coming days, it may start trending in our neighboring Nepal, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Pakistan in other countries of the world as the whole world is adopting the identity of Indian culture Namaste to avoid this disease.
