Corona virus was a dangerous disease that affects people worldwide.
This
pandemic was able to pass from one person to another. Due to its outbreak, legal authorities of many nations to create a situation in which people were not allowed to leave their houses without any work which is known as a lockdown. I shall discuss merits and demerits of
this
legal step taken by elective bodies of different nations in the upcoming paragraphs. On the bright side,
this
lockdown has many advantages.
Firstly
, as
this
pandemic was contagious, so curfew was the only way to control
this
disease. If people did not come in contact with each other,
then
this
virus was not able to spread
furthermore
.
Secondly
, thanks to
this
lockout, other problems like pollution, traffic jams, Etcetera, decreased automatically.
Moreover
, the environment was more spic and span during quarantine. On the sinister side, we all were very affected by
this
lockout. As individuals stayed at home,
thus
work was fully shut down.
This
curfew affected the economy of all nations. Labourers and poverty stricken humans who work full day to earn bread and butter, were more impacted by
this
confinement.
Although
the elective bodies and many organisations were helping poor peoples, yet some individuals faced deprivation of food.
In addition
, education was
also
impacted by
this
curfew; examinations were
also
delayed. To wind up the discussion, it is well said that prevention is better than cure. In my opinion, confinement was the outstanding method to control
this
epidemic. Government and humans both gave their best to fight with
this
pandemic.
