Answer» Answer: Explanation: The immediate response to the ANNOUNCEMENT of the national lockdown was the attempted flight of millions of migrant workers from Indian cities back to their rural residences. For these workers, who survive on daily wages and work in India’s large informal sector4, the shutdown of economic activity meant that they had no means of livelihood in their places of work, nor the FAMILY support systems that they needed to survive without any source of income for a prolonged period. With the attempted return migration of these workers back to their villages, there was a considerable RISK of community TRANSMISSION in rural India if some of these workers were carrying the coronavirus. The unexpected announcement of the national lockdown and the LACK of preparation by the national government in India meant that the mass exodus of migrant workers became a chaotic event. |
