Easing the lockdown must be done with extreme caution to prevent the spikes in COVID-19 infections we have seen elsewhere in the world. Government’s differentiated approach will allow economic activity to resume while protecting public health.
Evidence shows us that imposing a nation-wide lockdown provided our country with valuable time to prepare our health system & helped to slow the rate of Covid-19 transmission. This vital advantage must now be sustained.
There is clear evidence that the lockdown has allowed us to achieve our objective of delaying the spread of Covid-19 & avoiding a massive surge in infections that would have overwhelmed our health care system.
