“Lockdowns are not necessary as they will not help control COVID-19. The State government should come up with solutions other than lockdowns,” Ramesh Jigajinagi, BJP MP and former Union Minister, said in Vijayapura on Saturday. “It has been proved that a prolonged lockdown has not helped control the epidemic. Other measures such as strict implementation of COVID-19 protocol, including avoiding crowding, wearing masks and social distancing need to be followed,” he said. He hoped that the State government would implement such people-friendly schemes that will not affect routine life or damage the economy.More Related News
