Abstract:
Policy discourse in India has steered towards opening the economy in a phased manner to combat the mounting economic distress caused by the Covid-19 lockdown. In this post, Puppala, Gupta, and Sekhri describe a web-based dynamic dashboard that they have developed, which can facilitate a policy of staggered relaxing of lockdowns with precautionary measures, by enabling the identification of high, moderate, and low-risk areas in real time.
