On March 11, Covid-19, a novel coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the WHO, and at the time of writing this manuscript, Covid-19 has infected 3,913,643 people globally with 270,426 deaths. The first case of Covid-19 in India was reported on January 30, 2020, from Kerala, the cases started increasing toward the end of March, and total Covid-19 cases in India have crossed the 50000 mark with over 1800 deaths. Some experts criticized India for testing too less numbers despite the call by the WHO to adopt “test, test, and test” approach. India chose a different approach and went for total lockdown for 1.3 billion people on March 24. This was complemented by the state directions for the compulsory use of face masks by the people when moving outdoors.
