It emphasizes the need for accurate information on the spread and impact of the virus, as well as the effectiveness of interventions. The article presents research papers that examine various aspects of the disease in India, including infection rates, mortality burden, and economic impact. It also discusses the challenges and limitations of surveillance methods and the importance of adapting strategies as more information becomes available. The article further examines the actions taken by households in India to protect their income and vital consumption during the pandemic, such as switching occupations and prioritizing essential goods.
