起源于中国武汉市的冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行已迅速传播到多个国家，全球报告了许多病例。截至2020年5月8日，印度已报告56,342例阳性病例。印度人口超过13.4亿，是世界第二人口大国，将很难控制严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2在其人口中的传播。应对当前的疫情爆发，非常有必要采取多种策略；其中包括计算模型、统计工具和定量分析，以控制传播以及新疗法的快速开发。印度卫生和家庭福利部提高了人们对最近爆发的疫情的认识，并采取了必要的行动来控制 COVID-19 的传播。中央和州政府正在采取多项措施并制定多项战时协议来实现这一目标。此外，印度政府从2020年3月25日开始在全国实施为期55天的封锁，以减少病毒的传播。这次疫情的爆发与国家经济有着千丝万缕的联系，它极大地阻碍了工业部门，因为全世界的人们目前对在受影响地区从事商业活动持谨慎态度。
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, which originated in the city of Wuhan, China, has quickly spread to various countries, with many cases having been reported worldwide. As of May 8th, 2020, in India, 56,342 positive cases have been reported. India, with a population of more than 1.34 billion-the second largest population in the world-will have difficulty in controlling the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 among its population. Multiple strategies would be highly necessary to handle the current outbreak; these include computational modeling, statistical tools, and quantitative analyses to control the spread as well as the rapid development of a new treatment. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India has raised awareness about the recent outbreak and has taken necessary actions to control the spread of COVID-19. The central and state governments are taking several measures and formulating several wartime protocols to achieve this goal. Moreover, the Indian government implemented a 55-days lockdown throughout the country that started on March 25th, 2020, to reduce the transmission of the virus. This outbreak is inextricably linked to the economy of the nation, as it has dramatically impeded industrial sectors because people worldwide are currently cautious about engaging in business in the affected regions.
