Statement on the lockdown and the COVID-19 epidemic

We are a group of scientists, academics and public health professionals.

The lockdown imposed by the government of India has allowed those who have the means to
survive for 21 days and beyond, to stay at home to protect their health. But, for more than 90%
of the workforce, which is in the unorganized sector or informally employed in the organized
sector, and especially for casual labourers who earn on a daily basis, the lockdown is both an
immediate health risk and an economic catastrophe.

Since the lockdown has been justified by epidemiological considerations, in this statement, we
would like to draw attention to some important epidemiological aspects of the lockdown.

● A lockdown of society, by itself, is not a cure for the COVID-19 epidemic and it is a
stratagem for winning some time for the healthcare system. Epidemiological models
consistently suggest that, in the absence of other factors, the epidemic could bounce
back once the lockdown is lifted. If this were to happen at the end of India’s lockdown,
the epidemic would hit a society already under severe economic distress, with potentially
devastating consequences.

Therefore, a post-lockdown plan is necessary that will ensure that the rate of new
infections is kept low in a sustainable manner when the lockdown ends. While social
distancing and better hygiene can help, these measures are insufficient by themselves.
We are deeply concerned that the government of India has not released a roadmap,
detailing how it plans to deal with the epidemic, once the lockdown is eased. We believe
that such a plan should have been put in place before the lockdown was announced,
and we urge the government to do so as soon as possible. Such a move would also
enhance the confidence of people in the government’s long-term strategy.

● More testing is necessary​: The lockdown may succeed in temporarily suppressing the
epidemic, at great social cost, but we are concerned that the government is not using
this precious interval of time to actually identify as many cases of COVID-19 as possible.
In particular, the current restricted testing-policy creates the risk that a large number of
mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic cases—which constitute the majority of
infections—will remain undetected even at the end of the lockdown period. These cases
could easily serve as the nucleus for the epidemic to bounce back.

So, we urge the ICMR and the Government of India to take immediate steps to expand
India’s testing regimen. We hope that recent advances in testing-techniques will allow
India to follow the recommendations of the World Health Organizations which has
consistently recommended large-scale testing, followed by additional targeted measures
as a possible method of controlling the epidemic.

● Risks of a reverse migration​: The exodus triggered by the lockdown also carries the
risk that the virus will be rapidly carried to all parts of India, including those where
healthcare facilities are the weakest. This can precipitate both an epidemiological and a
humanitarian crisis. Rather than attempting to prevent the reverse migration, using the
police, we urge the government to use its stocks of foodgrains and use urgent cash
 transfers to ensure the food-security and welfare of workers and ensure that they are not
compelled to undertake long and unsafe journeys, which have already led to a number
of deaths.

We earnestly hope that the government will take the concerns above on board. As members of
scientific community, we offer our complete support to the people and possible expertise in
combating this disease and in ensuring that our country emerges from this difficult period with
as little loss of life as possible.
