The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has created an unprecedented global crisis. As with every calamity, it has disproportionately impacted individuals, groups, and communities who were already living in marginalized and vulnerable situations – both in terms of their heightened risk and in terms of their inability to cope with response measures such as complete lockdowns, forced isolation, and quarantines. On the evening of 24 March 2020, India announced a 21-day lockdown to curtail the spread of COVID-19, giving the nation a mere four-hour notice. On 14 April 2020, the lockdown was extended for 19 days until 3 May 2020. On 1 May, the lockdown was further extended for two weeks, albeit with some relaxations and more freedoms in ‘green’ and ‘orange’ zones. Given India’s large population living below the poverty line, its lockdown has been declared as one of the world’s harshest.
