Just like any country, India has struggled against the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Various factors like financial inequality, inadequate healthcare, and a huge population have made the matter even worse. In April 2020, after conducting the maximum number of tests in the country, the state of Maharashtra was able to detect over 1,900 cases. For the same period, the state of Sikkim carried out the minimum number of tests with zero cases detected.

What do people think about COVID-19 in India?

According to an online survey in February 2020, when the respondents were asked about their opinion on the issue of coronavirus, over 70 percent of the participants showed belief in staying alert and taking precautions. However, 16 percent of participants believed that the virus will not have a major influence on the country. To learn how people from different age groups are dealing with the fear of catching the virus, another survey was conducted in March 2020. It was discovered that the millennials were the most scared of contracting the virus. On the other hand, baby boomers showed minimum fear.

Impact of COVID-19 on India’s economy

The coronavirus has influenced the Indian economy in many ways. China has a major share in India’s import and export market. Therefore, any strain on the Chinese economy directly shows its effect on India too. This is true for all major economies of the world. Apart from this, the internal trade in the country has also taken a huge hit due to a series of lockdowns. In April 2020, the overall cost of a complete lockdown in India was estimated at around 26 billion U.S. dollars. India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the second quarter of 2020 was estimated to show a negative growth of nine percent. This was a huge decline as compared to the last quarter in which positive growth was observed.
