Lessons to follow after lockdown
Physical distancing and personal hygiene seem to be the main weapon to combat COVID-19. Instead of implementing a strict complete lockdown for short time, a long-term nationwide partial lockdown in some sectors with shorter complete lockdown in hot spots with minimal socio-economic interventions and strict implementation of safe practices is better. High-risk population Instead of doing screening testing for the population in general, the priority should be testing high risk groups, such as contacts of people working in COVID hospitals, quarantine centres, COVID-testing labs, cemeteries and graveyards, as well as attendees involved with COVID positive case and people who are allowed to travel with passes and handling essential services, as well as the general population in identified red zones. Courier, postal and cargo services involve multiple handling of parcels across various travel zones. All persons in contact with the parcels from the pick-up point till delivery should use proper PPE and disinfection measures in handling the parcel, including using digital non-touch methods for getting acknowledgements.
