New Delhi : As the nation records over 6,000 cases day after day, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said, on Wednesday, that there have been “multiple gains” from the lockdown and the most important of them is that it has “decelerated the pace” of the spread of the novel coronavirus. Lockdown 5.0 for two weeks with stringent curbs in 11 cities that account for 70% of COVID-19 positive cases and a massive focus on ramping up testing in rural areas is on the anvil. Globally, the virus has killed more than 100,000 people in the United States, according to a Reuters tally even as the slowdown in deaths encouraged businesses to reopen and Americans to emerge from more than two months of lockdowns. Stay tuned for more updates.
