At this time, more than 1600 people have been infected in the country and the death toll has reached 38.
Amid the ongoing lockdown in the country, a message is being spread rapidly on WhatsApp.
The message claimed, “The Disaster Management Act is coming into force in the country from tonight. It will be applicable across the country. According to which no ordinary citizen other than government departments can write posts related to corona virus on social media platforms.
Neither can share. There is a provision of punishment for doing so. Do not forward any message or joke related to Corona virus from April 1. If this happens, the arrest of the group administrator will be under section 68 … 140 and 188. “
Actually, not only from April 1, but also the announcement of the nationwide lockdown of the Prime Minister, as well as the Disaster Management Act 2005 was enacted.
This notification of the Government of India states, “Disaster Management Act 2005 is being imposed using the power found under section 6 . Now the Ministries, Departments, State Governments and Authorities of the Government of India are being given national Disaster Management Authority orders have to be obeyed so that the transition to covid-19 can be stopped by making social distancing effective. “
Can nothing be written about the corona virus as soon as this Act comes into force? To know the fact of this claim, it is important to understand what is the disaster management act after all?
The Disaster Management Act was implemented in December 2005. This is a national law that is used by the central government so that a country-wide plan can be made to deal with a disaster.
There is a provision for the formation of a National Disaster Management Authority under the second part of this Act. Whose President is the Prime Minister. Apart from this, it can have a maximum of nine members whose elections are held on the suggestion of the Prime Minister.
Under this, the central government has the right to take action against those who do not follow the instructions given. Under this law, state governments have to follow the centrally made scheme.
The most important thing about this law is that the National Disaster Management Authority can take action against any state official as well as the officer of private companies for not following the orders.
This law can be used in the event of a natural disaster and a human-caused disaster.
In the beginning of the month of March, the Government of India enacted the Epidemic Disease Act 1897, created in the 123-year-old English rule.
This law was made by the British in February 1897 to control the plague epidemic that was spreading in the then Bombay city.
In this, the British government had the power that it could ban the mobilization of more people anywhere in the country. The same law was used in the year 2018 during the spread of cholera disease in Gujarat.
Since this law allows the state governments to make new rules, given the nature of the epidemic, the state governments have to decide what new rules and regulations they want to make in their state to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic.
In view of the crisis of covid-19, the Central Government enacted the Disaster Management Act 2005 of 21 days lockdown so that the central government can implement a plan with all the state governments across the country.
It is clear that the Central Government has implemented the Disaster Management Act 2005 in the country, but apart from the claims being made in the message, it is applicable not from April 1 but from March 25.
And this law has absolutely nothing to do with forwarding social media posts or messages related to corona to the common citizen.
However, being a responsible citizen, it would be better to refrain from sharing any unauthenticated information given the severity of the corona virus epidemic.

]]>Around 11 per cent of the samples across India have become cause for concern. In India, 3.32 lakh new cases of Corona have been registered on Friday while 2263 people have died in the last 24 hours. This is the new record of Corona virus infection in one day in the country. Talk of UK strain so far in the country
A total of 1,644 cases have been reported, in addition to 112 cases of South African strain, one in Brazil strain and 732 cases of double mutants.
According to the NCDC, cases of UK strain in Delhi have doubled since the month of March. Sujit Kumar Singh, director of the NCDC, says, “The main reason for the rise of Corona case in Delhi is the UK strain.”
He said, ‘There is a different situation in Delhi. UK variants and B 1617 (double mutation) are present here. It cannot draw full conclusions about this, but we have seen an increase in UK variants from 28 per cent on March 2 to 50 per cent for the previous week.
If we combine this increase, I think it is directly related to the UK variants. Genome sequencing has shown the relationship between the variants and how the corona is growing. Variants have been found in 1,735 (11.5 per cent) out of 15,135 samples.

There are solid reasons behind his saying, the entire country has gone through a lot of difficulties and challenges due to the covid infection in the thirteen months of March 2020 to April 2021.
After the lockdown, efforts were made to bring the country’s economy back on track by starting the process of unlocking.
Until last month, it seemed that the economy of India was devastated by the epidemic. In view of this recovery, several international rating agencies and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had predicted India’s growth rate to grow between 10 and 13 percent in FY 2021-22.
But not only has this recovery been braided due to the second horrific wave of corona virus in April, but the boom in the last six months seems to be moving.
The rating agencies have reduced India’s growth rate by two percent, making changes in their forecasts.
Now, with the state governments making announcements of new restrictions almost daily, there are bound to be obstacles in the development of the economy.
Unemployment is increasing, there are full signs of rising inflation and migration of workers from big cities has also started.
According to Finance Ministry sources, the central government is taking a deep review of the economic situation.
The government has come to the conclusion that the lockdown will not be imposed across the country like last year and there is no such plan this time in the way that large economic packages were given in 2020. Help will be given, but it will be according to the need.

“In South Africa, where the B.1.351 lineage is prevalent and 800 participants were enrolled, nine cases of Covid-19 were observed, all in the placebo group,” the companies said.
The nine strains were sequenced and six of them were confirmed to be of B.1.351 lineage, they said.
“The high vaccine efficacy observed through up to six months following a second dose and against the variant prevalent in South Africa provides further confidence in our vaccine’s overall effectiveness,” said Albert Bourla, chief executive of Pfizer.
