90-Word Edit | V-shaped economy needs a powerful V-dose

• Follow

Rising Covid-19 cases coupled with macro numbers have injected negativity into the recovery narrative. India needs two V-shaped recoveries: Covid-19 and the economy.

The latter to some extent will be a function of the former. Vaccination drive needs more momentum. Allowing private hospitals to inoculate 24×7 was a good step.

Now, corporate India must be encouraged to vaccinate employees within office premises, of course, under authorised medical supervision.

Moreover, age-based restrictions on vaccinations should give way to first-come first-serve citizens across the population. Flatten the curve before it peaks again.
