COVID-19 LOCKDOWN


Working from home: Your common challenges and how to tackle them

During the continuous COVID-19 corona-virus pandemic numerous associations are prescribing – and some requiring – that their staff telecommute. 


For certain individuals, most outstandingly data laborers like designers (and writers), remote working is something with which they may as of now be natural. 

However, for some different specialists and associations, this present circumstance will be their first experience of remote working, push on them by occasions. What's more, for the vast majority - even the individuals who may have in the past telecommuted every once in a while - this could turn into the longest timeframe away from their office and the remainder of their group they've needed to examine. 

"In any event, when associations can use remote working arrangements, they should plan representatives who are not used to remote attempting to explore the difficulties in question," says Shainaz Firfiray, partner educator of Human Resource Management at Warwick Business School. 

"This may incorporate making encouraging groups of people containing progressively experienced telecommuters who can enable these representatives to make an effective change to this new work structure." 

Coronavirus: Effective methodologies and devices for remote work during a pandemic 

There's bounty that both staff and chiefs can do to make this time of telecommuting a superior encounter for everybody included. Also, to truly see how to work remotely most successfully, it merits paying attention to the experience of individuals who've been doing it more routinely and for longer than the greater part of us. 

GitLab as of late studied 3,000 information laborers who either worked remotely or had the choice to work remotely. To begin with, the uplifting news. Most offered WFH an excited go-ahead: 90% said they would prescribe home attempting to a companion, and 84% said they could achieve every one of their undertakings remotely - and that their supervisors comprehended what it took to deal with a group of telecommuters. 

In any case, they additionally recognized that there are critical drawbacks to working from home. 

Knowing where the issues with telecommuting can happen implies we can be more ready to maintain a strategic distance from them ourselves during this time of surprising WFH. Here's a once-over of the greatest difficulties they've distinguished, with a couple of thoughts for how to avoid them. 

Top of the rundown: about half (47%) referenced the trouble of overseeing at-home interruptions. I would likely subdivide those further into interferences and interruptions. 

Interferences originate from outside, similar to a thump at the entryway from a conveyance driver requesting that you take in a bundle for a neighbor. Other potential interferences; family and pets and companions who neglect to comprehend that since you are at home, you are as yet working. Shut entryways, don't upset signs and commotion dropping earphones all prove to be useful. Additional telecommuting tips here. 

Interruptions are marginally unique. These are generally the aftereffect of being in an alternate situation to the one which you are utilized to, and that implies propensities are disturbed and needs get jumbled. 

In the workplace your needs are (for the most part) all around characterized – you're there to work. At home your needs are extraordinary; having some good times, cooking, eating, cleaning, staring at the TV – nearly by definition everything not business related. 

Carrying work into the home, particularly if it's just because, particularly now, confounds the entirety of this. It likewise makes you want to consolidate the two, which is the reason you'll attempt to wash the dishes while on a telephone call (and indeed, everybody will know). Here the arrangement is around building another work routine so centering is simpler. That is the reason each arrangement of remote working tips discusses getting up and getting dressed, and endeavoring to work standard hours. On the off chance that you can, work in a specific spot in your home regular so that becomes related with fixation. 

One out of three home specialists (35%) stressed over working together with associates and customers. There are a lot of devices to keep circulated groups synchronized, from the nuts and bolts of email through to Slack, Microsoft Teams and videoconferencing applications like Zoom. 

Be that as it may, there is likewise a motivation behind why there are such huge numbers of these devices: they all have shortcomings and none of them can catch the full wealth of physical eye to eye human communication. Specifically, depending on content just choices like email is probably going to make it harder to cooperate and to make misconstruing substantially more likely. A briskly composed email or seriously stated Slack remark can be effectively misread and endeavors at cleverness can undoubtedly bomb gravely, particularly when individuals are nervous as of now.

Impact of lockdown on economy


On March 24, 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the entire nation at 8 pm. 



He mentioned that India will be in 21 days lockdown, starting from midnight. Though this looks just as the demonetisation announcement, this time, it is to fight a far more dangerous threat than black money and corruption.This time we are fighting against a virus that has shown its impact in more than 150 nations. By no doubt, such threat needs a drastic measure as a lockdown. However, the lockdown and the virus threat will have some serious impact on Indian Economy.
Indian economy which was already under some pressure due to the problems like rising NPA was doing fairly good only because of the consumption drive of the nation. With this lockdown, the consumption will be seriously hurt. People would not be able to spend on things they earlier did for leisure like movies, dining out and shopping. Simply put, the discretionary spending will be at an all-time low in the coming quarters. This will have also some short-term impact on the GDP and stock markets alike.
This surely is a small price to pay for the safety of the people. Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has lowered Indian GDP growth estimate for 2020 by 1 per cent. The stock markets all over the world already seem to start factoring such as slowdown in the aggregate world GDP growth with a steep downslide in all the major stock markets with Indian stock market being no exception. Perhaps, with the fear of virus fading away in near future, we will see a sharp rise in GDP as well as in the stock markets all over the world.
Impact on several industries
(1) India jewellery sales are set to fall to the lowest in a quarter-century, i.e. in 25 years, as a result of the lockdown to combat the rapidly spreading Coronavirus, which has brought the industry to a sudden halt.


(2) With the cancellation of passenger trains across the country till March 31 due to coronavirus, Indian Railways is likely to face around Rs 1,700 crore losses.


(3)Coronavirus Impact: Stock market investors lose Rs 12 lakh crore in 6 trading sessions.

(4) Indian entertainment industry stares at losses due to coronavirus effect


Global losses

WORLD GDP TO FALL 2.8% IN 2020, EXCEEDING FINANCIAL CRISIS TOLL
World Bank  said that  India's economy is expected to grow 1.5 per cent to 2.8 per cent in 2020-21 fiscal which started on April 1. This will be the slowest growth rate recorded since the economic reforms of 1991.
Acuite Ratings & Research Ltd earlier this month estimated that the lockdown will cost the Indian economy almost USD 4.64 billion (over Rs 35,000 crore) every day and the entire 21-day lockdown will result in a GDP loss of almost USD 98 billion (about Rs 7.5 lakh crore).
Hence corona virus has affected the economu very badly. And the loss is going to be more higher.

COVID-19:  In December 2019, a virus outbreak was reported in Wuhan, China which is known as the covid-19 (coronavirus) by the World Health Organization (WHO). Till 13th April 2020, there have been atleast 18,72,073 confirmed cases and 1,16,098 confirmed deaths in the coronavirus pneumonia pandemic. This is viral transmission to humans. This pandemic has resulted in travel restrictions and nationwide lockdowns in several countries. If we talk about Government of India is taking all necessary steps to face challenge and threat posed by the growing pandemic of Covid-19. With the support of people of India, we are able to control that virus in our country. The most thing which is very important is that the right information should be given to the citizens and taking precautions as per the advisories. The covid-19 can be more understandable with the help of video whose weblink is:
The first case entered in India on 30th January,2020. Covid-19 cases rise to 10,815 in India, from which 358 deaths take place till 14th April, 2020.

The impact of lockdown can be seen in videolink which is as follows:
Different types of business sectors are impacting due to coronavirus, some of them can be explained as follows.

India`s Exhibition Sector: This sector has lost an estimated Rs.3,570 Crore due to lockdown.

It sees logistics as a big hurdle. In the coming months, the whole world will look towards India as the alternate manufacturing hub. The world have realized there over dependence on China is costing them dear. Sectors like autos and pharmaceuticals were impacted due to shortage of imported components.

Covid 19 Lockdown challenges

Covid 19 Lockdown challenges 



Lockdown is an emergency protocol. This ban is imposed by the government to prevent  the movement of people in an emergency no person can move out of the city where the lockdown is done he imprison himself in the house. People can get out of the house only for urgent work some people are nervous because there is not much information about the lockdown they are particularly afraid of comparing it to curfew but you don’t need to panic. lockdown mean lockout is emergency mechanism implemented during a disaster people of the area where he lockdown has been done are not allowed to move out of the house they are allowed to move out of the house only to buy essential thing like medicine and money from the bank . lockdown mean that you do not leave the street for unnecessary work. Lockdown conditions persist in many countries of the world to defeat Corona, which has become a worldwide pandemic. The Prime Minister of the country, Narendra Modi, had announced a lockdown across the country for 21 days on 25 March, which was to end on 15 April but there was no decrease in the number of corona patients.On April 14, Prime Minister Modi announced a second lockdown to get an over on Corona. This lockdown will last till May 3 i.e. the next 19 days and will have to remain in lockdown. After the announcement of the central government, the railways also stopped all services on May 3. In addition, domestic and international flights have been canceled by May 3.The main purpose of the lockdown is to keep people locked inside the houses so that the corona chain can be broken. When the lockdown occurred in the country, the total corona cases were 550, but the corona cases only increased after the lockdown. However, crores of people had to bear the brunt of the lockdown. Let's see what the statistics say about lockdown ...The Ministry of Health holds press conferences daily to update the corona. On April 9, a statement issued by the Ministry of Health said that if the lockdown was not imposed in the country, on April 15, more than eight lakh cases would have been seen. There are currently more than ten thousand infected patients in the country due to lockdown and nationwide containment.However, the Ministry of Health did not clarify which model was used to bring these figures to the fore. The ICMR has made a model public but not about the lockdown.It can be seen in this graph that the number of patients with Corona was not much faster in February. After March 4, the number of patients increased, which has been increasing till now. It takes 14 days for the virus to appear. However, many states had imposed lockdown before the Center was announced. Karnataka announced the lockdown on 13 March and Maharashtra on 20 March.

Impact of lockdown on industry 

The coronavirus outbreak first occurred in Wuhan, China on December 31, 2019. Before reading in detail about the impact on the economy, let's first know about coronaviruses.Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause disease. This can cause serious illnesses ranging from the common cold to Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV). Novel is a new type of coronavirus that was not yet found in humans.We cannot ignore the fact that the outbreak of COVID-19 in China and other countries of the world is expected to have a significant impact on the economy, including economic skepticism, trade, supply chain symptoms welfare, commodities and logistics globally.In the beginning, India's dependence on China is huge. Among the top 20 products ((in double digits of HS code) that India starts with the world, China holds a significant share in most of them.About 45% of India's total electronic imports depend on China. About one-third of the equipment and about two-fifths of organic chemicals that India buys from the world come from China? China accounts for over 25% of India's deal for automotive parts and producers. About 65 to 70% of active pharmaceutical ingredients and about 90% of mobile phones arrive in India from China.Therefore, we can say that due to the outbreak of coronavirus in China, import dependence on China is having a significant impact on Indian industry. But now the situation in China is improving, then maybe there will be some changes in the coming time.


Education and e learning 

As the Ministry of Human Resource Development continues its efforts to mitigate the effects of the Covid-19 lockdown and to provide students with continued access to studies over this period, the commendable boom in e-learning in the country during the last few weeks was seen. has gone.

And extending access to offline journals. About 50-65 percent of the students in higher educational institutions like Central University, IITs, IIITs, NITs, IISERs are involved in some form of e-learning. Due to the lack of Internet connectivity and other essential digital structures that students have, e-learning has seen interruptions in many cases. To mitigate this problem to some extent, in addition to compartments and live sessions recorded by teachers, slides or hand-written notes are also being shared, allowing students with networked uncertainty to at least some Components. Attainment is possible. Recorded lectures ensure that a short-term problem of network availability cannot interrupt any student. Faculty members are conducting offline chat sessions with students, allowing them to answer any questions they may have.

The Minister requested the students to make maximum use of these teachers also to enhance their studies.


Work from home : challenges and prospects 

At present, it is becoming difficult for people in homes across the country to cut time within the boundary wall. Especially for people living alone and the elderly, the social challenge of avoiding mental depression is the most serious. The challenge of keeping children busy is falling on mothers. From eating and drinking to playing with children, the mothers and some fathers also have to fulfill their requirements to make them happy and prevent them from going out.Children are distraught due to the closure in the house, which is not to be missed by schoolmates, they are also deprived of playing with their neighbors. They have either the time to spend time on TV-internet or are the games to be played between brothers and sisters inside the house. According to video game vendors, the demand for their games has increased by 25 to 30 percent in the initial week of lockdown. However, during such times Doordarshan has taken a good initiative to provide healthy entertainment to the people sitting at home by re-airing serials like Ramayana and Mahabharata.This time is even more difficult for working spouses, because while they have to complete their professional work daily within the boundary of the house within the stipulated time, the challenge is to keep the environment peaceful by keeping the children busy. The challenge of doing your professional work from inside the house has also brought all the stresses of the office within the boundary of the house. Working mothers have to fulfill the needs of the family by doing their professional work while staying at home. They have to fulfill this dual responsibility without any helpers this whole month. This is increasing physical and mental pressure on them.Since children do not go to school, it is also a challenge to continue their studies at home. Keeping them indoors throughout the day will be possible only when they are kept busy with some useful and recreational activity. Therefore, this is the most appropriate time to train them to help in household work. All the members of the house are staying indoors for the next ten days at least for ten days, so reconciliation is necessary. Equally important is the care of the elderly, their diet and the prevention of corona contagion and exercise needs.If there is a patient suffering from corona contagion or any member of the house suffering from its symptoms has to keep 14 days quarantine i.e. the most isolated in the house, then the social challenge is even more formidable. In untouchable families, all the adults of the household are taking utmost care themselves, children and the elderly are also taking special care. The economic challenge is also increasing in front of such families, because the government has fixed Rs 4,500 as the primary investigation of Corona. A new problem has arisen in front of corona workers. Instead of helping Corona's vulnerable or apprehensive people and their health workers, they are attacking them in many ways. Now the challenge before the government is to go in public and investigate them in large numbers. Due to the treatment facilities available in the country, since the estimated number of corona victims was not possible to treat, temporary health facilities are being prepared. It is necessary to take a lesson from the Italian government's criminal negligence in its investigation. It remains to be seen whether the Government of India will wait for the citizens to rush to the hospital after the corona contagious house-to-house explosion, or by extensively examining them to save their lives by marking the death-bearers of others unaware of their contagion. 
These days more than one billion and 300 million population of India are locked in their homes to avoid the infection of corona virus. Its social effects are visible on a large scale. While the most affected are the poor sections, the burden has also increased on the shoulders of the women running and working at home. Obviously, when society is completely closed in homes, then the challenges for everyone also increase, but we all have to meet this challenge together.


Pollution and lockdown 

Due to the lockout of half of the world's population, nature is having such an impact which may have been conceived only. There are reports of air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution coming down from different parts of the world. The animals are seen walking in the open. If the sky is clearly visible, the peaks of the mountains are seen from far away.There are reports of sudden clearing of rivers whose efforts have been going on for decades to remove pollution from several states in India. Similar reports are coming about the Yamuna River, the lifeline of Delhi. Recently, many pictures came on social media, which claimed that the water of Yamuna used to be black and foam filled in Delhi, the same Yamuna is flowing clean water today.Environmentalist Subhash Dutta says that it is believed that 70 percent of Yamuna's pollution is contributed by domestic waste falling in it and 30 percent is contributed by factories. According to the law, factories cannot allow them to go into the river without purifying their effluents. Factories are closed due to the lockout, and meanwhile, the cleanliness of the river meant that while the factories were running, their effluents were going into the river without being purified. Subhash Dutta also says that this also means that government agencies also do not do surveillance work properly.


Manoj Mishra, the campaigner of the Yamuna Jaya Abhiyan, says that the river being clean now means that we had not yet properly understood the source of its pollution. He says that till date the entire focus was on treating waste plants, but the real problem is the discharge from factories.


Impact on lockdown of economy 

The lockdown in India has been extended until May 3. The economy is hurt during a 21-day lockdown to prevent the corona virus epidemic from spreading in the country. Analysts and industry boards have predicted that the 21-day lockdown could impact India's staggering economy by Rs7-8 lakh crore.
Most of the factories and businesses remained closed in the lockdown. Flights from the Indian Railways are suspended. Also, the movement of vehicles and people has also been banned.The country's economic activities stalled
The lockdown of 21 days from March 25 has halted 70 percent of economic activity, investment, exports and consumption of products other than essential commodities. Only agriculture, mining, utility services, some financial and IT services and public services have been allowed to work.
