Public Health Governance to Battle COVID-19 in India
From the Summary: "The COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic has wreaked havoc among the poor and those working in the unorganised sector in India. The surge of infections has also led to panic across the nation. The states appeared to have been inadequately prepared for the mass migration on the announcement. However, after the initial two or three days, the public health administration at the district level has rallied with alacrity. The coordination among the various state-level bodies has been remarkable. The policy of social distancing and containment seems to have checked community spread. However, it is still early for the government to relax the curbs."

COVID-19 and Indian States: Spread, Risk and Implications
From the Summary: "India's three-week stringent countrywide lockdown to curb the spread of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019], introduced from 25 March 2020, has been extended till 3 May 2020. The extension indicates the government's efforts to manage the outbreak as its topmost priority. This paper studies the spread of COVID-19 within the Indian federation and looks closely at the situation across the country's regions and states. It divides the states according to the degree of spread and nature of risk, and identifies Maharashtra, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh as the three most affected and risk-prone states right now."

COVID-19 in Sri Lanka: A Litmus Test for the New Government
From the Summary: "On 12 April 2020, the Sri Lankan government announced that universities and schools across the country would re-open for a new term in mid-May 2020, signalling that it is considering an exit strategy to end the island-wide curfew, the reason being that the virus outbreak has been contained to a manageable level. While retaining the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] curve without allowing an exponential spike is testimony to the government's success in its response to the pandemic, the real litmus test will be its success in managing the post-COVID challenges."

Pandemic Politics in India
From the Summary: "While conventional politics in India might have taken a backseat in the wake of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, the way the crisis is being handled is itself intensely political. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's handling of the crisis has enhanced his popularity but there have been questions on the plight of migrant workers and the operation of Indian federalism. The long-term impact of COVID-19 though might be felt most in the expansion of the state, the centralisation of power and the measures rolled out to tackle the fallout of the pandemic."

The focus seems to be on converting a situation into an opportunity to reorganise and recharge a moribund economy."

The respective governments will need to provide direct financial support in the hope of reviving this sector."
