Flipkart co-founder and CEO of Navi Technologies Sachin Bansal says, it is "time to open up the economy. Whoever wants to stay at home can stay. And for folks who are venturing out should maintain precautions but be allowed to work if they wish to”.
Bansal tweeted, "We can't lock ourselves up for 2 years in homes waiting for a vaccine. India can't make use of the opportunities if our most productive people are locked in their homes. With COVID's growth slowing down it's time to open up the economy. We have to learn to live with the virus."
The debate on whether and how to reopen the economy has seen a lot of participants recently. While many have been harping upon the need to open up the economy and getting back to business, there are others who are against the idea of rushing to resume operations for the fear that the same could lead to a sudden spike in the number of infections and thereby hurt the progress made so far in containing the spread of the coronavirus, or COVID-19 pandemic.
