Hello and welcome to The Moving Curve. I’m Rukmini, a data journalist based in Chennai. Every night on this mini-cast, I consider one question around the novel coronavirus epidemic in India. Tonight I’m asking this question — what’s going to govern how we ease restrictions?
The NDMA’s letter to states is here: https://ndma.gov.in/images/covid/17-May-letter-to-States.pdf
Let me just say this — if this is what it’s going to take to get this basic data we as citizens have been entitled to for the last 110 days, then I can’t wait for every district to go from red to green, so that I finally get to see their numbers.
Thank you for listening. This episode was edited by Anand Krishnamoorthi. Tomorrow — a new question.
