Raghuram Rajan says lockdown may not be enough to contain COVID-19 spread

India TV News  

Former Reserve Bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan has taken India's 21-day-lockdown to combat the spread of coronavirus with a pinch of salt, telling Bloomberg in an interview that the nationwide curfew might not necessarily check the spread of the epidemic. Expressing concern that the lockdown will not only keep people from going to work, but it would also keep them at home, "which is not necessarily that pristine isolated place, but can also be a slum where people live together," Rajan was quoted as saying by the business publication. Also calling for a coordinated global response to fight the coronavirus pandemic, the academic said that rich countries must divert some resources to under-developed parts of the world so that they had a "fair chance" to fight the coronavirus, as per excerpts of the interview carried by Bloomberg on Thursday. The European Commission has also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking effective measures that have been "the key to prevent the rapid spread of the disease in India," during a telephonic conversation between President of the European Commission Ursula Von Der Leyen and the PM on March 24..
