The Pandemic
After three states have imposed complete or partial lockdowns, the Centre underlined that “merely announcing or notifying a lockdown is not sufficient”, and the period “must be utilised gainfully” by implementing a three-pronged strategy to contain the spread of the infection.
Since April, a leading government hospital in Bengaluru has seen a 97% death rate among Covid-19 patients put on ventilators. The percentage is far in excess of comparative numbers for countries like the UK, US and Italy with high coronavirus fatalities.
With a pause on client meetings and reliance on social-distancing, the Covid-19 pandemic has only increased communication expenditure for major Indian IT firms TCS, Infosys and Wipro. While their travel expenditure has fallen by up to 86 per cent in the June quarter, their bills on communication have seen a 20 to 30 per cent increase.
