What concepts from social psychology can help explain some aspect(s)of the
situation described in the news story
"Maharashtra imposes full lockdown"- Hindustan Times (April 22, 2021)
Amidst the rapid increase of Covid-19 cases, Maharashtra has imposed a full lockdown for 15
days. The attendance in exempted category and government offices has been reduced to 15%.
Stricter rules have been imposed on inter-city/ district travel, a 14 days quarantine and
stamping hands have been mandatory for travelers. Train travel has been restricted to the
people working in government, medical sector and ones who are traveling for medical
purposes, and bus travel has been reduced to 50%.
People can't step out of their houses, unless to buy essential commodities from 7 a.m. to 11
a.m., for medical reasons, or if they are working in essential sectors. People's freedom of
movement has been restricted. Lockdown has increased the social isolation that would lead to
serious societal consequences.
