COVID hits rural India
COVID 19 cases surge in rural India is a matter of grave concern. The reason is the reverse migration of workers from the metro cities of the country to the villages and not adhering to the COVID safeguards.
The basic health care facilities are available in the villages of the country and this medical infrastructure is not capable to deal with COVID patients. In such a situation, the patients have to move to the cities for treatment. States need to take effective steps to curb the cases in rural areas. Strict lockdowns in villages and to boost health care facilities should be considered.
