What are the steps taken by the Indian government to control the spread of COVID-19

Describe the measures taken by the Indian government to curb the spread of COVID-19 and how effective they have been.
The Indian government has taken several steps to control the spread of COVID-19. Here are some of the most important measures taken:
  • A nationwide lockdown was enforced from March 25 to May 31, 2020, to restrict people's movement and limit the spread of the virus.
  • Travel restrictions were imposed, and international flights were suspended to prevent the entry of the virus into the country.
  • The government conducted large-scale contact tracing and surveillance to identify and isolate infected individuals and their contacts.
  • Testing capacity was ramped up, and a national network of laboratories was established to facilitate rapid testing.
  • Social distancing measures were implemented, including the closure of public places such as parks, malls, and movie theaters.
  • The use of face masks and hand hygiene was encouraged, and the government ensured the availability of these resources.
These measures have been largely effective in reducing the spread of COVID-19 in India. However, despite the government's efforts, the country has witnessed a surge in cases in recent months.
