Opening up religious places isn’t the best thing to do as the first step.

1. Most places are closed spaces.
2. Density is highest inside most places.
3. Elderly and vulnerable are most likely to visit and come in contact with infected people.

Guidelines for preventing large congregations must be clear, strict and binding throughout the country.

The next course of infection spread occurs mostly thorough clusters. Among them clusters that mix elderly and other vulnerable with healthy are more dangerous. #Unlock1 2ofN
Reverse Quarantine should be the guiding principle. Protecting the vulnerable shouldn’t be simply a rhetoric. Advisory for protecting the elderly, immunocompromised, undernourished children and women, disabled should be clear and strictly implemented in all areas.

While it is best to let the states to manage, strict review and constant supporting partnerships should be provided by NCDC and ICMR to all the states. States with poor public health system need most of the help.

The elderly & vulnerable should be protected everywhere. In particular, limiting them from movement to the risky places can be helpful. The principle is to protect them from young and otherwise healthy people who might ignore mild symptoms and spread to vulnerable.

These include but not limited to
1. Religious places
2. Hotspots & containment zones
3. Party halls
4. Health Care settings
5. Living with healthy adults and children in closed spaces without masks or physical distancing #Unlock1 6ofN
Old age homes & residential areas primarily meant for persons after retirement should have special restrictions. Entry from outside should be restricted and no events permitted. Use of masks and physical distancing should be mandatory at all times. #Unlock1 7ofN
The young and otherwise healthy can follow two simple principles to help the vulnerable.

1. Use a mask & maintain physical distancing (as much as possible). More than you, it protects nation’s treasure of wisdom (elderly)

2. When in doubt, don’t meet vulnerable
