Permissible activities after lockdown: phased reopenings under conditions; essential sectors stay operational amid economic losses and inflation uncertainty.
The lockdown mandates phased, conditional resumption of activities: broadly permissible activities will reopen only after government-specified relaxations and protocols, while designated functional activities-agriculture, daily-wage work, cargo movement, health and public utilities, media, IT and maintenance services-remain operational under safety protocols. The lockdown is expected to cause significant short-term economic loss with concentrated impacts on transport, hospitality, restaurants and real estate. The inflationary effect is uncertain, as falling food prices could be offset by cost-push increases in non-food items due to supply disruptions. (AI Summary)
