The total lockdown to curtail the spread of the infection in India has been lifted and some territories have been selectively opened up. However, viruses can never be completely eliminated from a country with a single lockdown. New cases will re-emerge in different areas from time to time. Consequently, the new normal could be a situation where different areas go under lockdown or come out of it, depending on the number of cases of infection. This could go on until a vaccine can be administered to the population.
