Our strategy for District Magistrates in India: COVID-19 is a war only Districts can fight.
Chandrapur has implemented a lockdown system that balances safety and freedom.
How did they do it?
The Chandrapur district administration observed that people were coming out in large volumes during the allocated time for buying groceries and supplies.
To overcome this problem, they implemented the following in major towns :
Each family has been assigned 1 of 5 colors at random.
Each color represents a day of the week and time period during which a family member can go out.
Coloured passes were handed to families, with help from ASHA workers.
Exceptions are made for medical emergencies.
