“…India's response so far to the COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the most stringent in the world, which was admired and praised worldwide and it scored a perfect 100 on the "Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT)" that compares various government's responses to the coronavirus outbreak worldwide. 6 The rate of rise in cases in this second most populous country was lower as compared to other countries, possibly due to implementation of a nation-wide lockdown at an early stage of the pandemic. As the second-most populous country, however, the eventual rapid rise to being the second-highest infected country in the world could not be restrained.…”

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus. Three waves of COVID 19 have hit us so far. With repeated waves of any disease, it has been observed that panic in the community and healthcare personnel decreases and knowledge and attitude towards the disease and diseased improves. Keeping this in mind, the following study was conducted with the following objective. Aim of this study was to assess and compare knowledge, Attitude and Practices of students of MBBS phase I of two consecutive years- 2020 batch and 2021 batch regarding COVID-19. Methods: Data was collected from two successive MBBS first professional batch students by using questionnaire and assessment of knowledge, attitude and practice was done on the basis of scoring system described by Kaliyaperumal. Results: It was observed that among phase I MBBS students (2020 batch) majority i.e. 55.89% were having medium level of knowledge, with a range of score 11‐15. While among phase I MBBS students (2021 batch), majority i.e. 62.82% were having high knowledge score in the range of 16-21. Regarding the attitude scores, majority of students in both the batches (52.82% in phase I (2020 batch) and 65.45% in phase I (2021 batch)) were having good attitude (score >6). Practice scores were mostly satisfactory (score 3-5) among both batches’ MBBS students. Conclusions: The study revealed that the attitude among students was good while knowledge and practice were satisfactory.

“…At the national level, the impact of COVID-19 has been observed across various dimensions, spanning from socio-economic (Kumar et al, 2020) to pharmaceutical aspects (Chatterjee & Dev, 2023). However, this section is dedicated to quantitatively measuring the degree to which policy decisions at the national level and precautions implemented by the Indian government, as discussed theoretically by Mukherjee et al (2022). The estimates of PCSE for the overall impact of government intervention on deaths due to COVID-19 are presented in table - 7 g .…”

This paper tries to quantify the impact of government policy intervention on the death due to COVID-19 in India at national, regional and sub-national levels. The data used for this study are collected from the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT), a longitudinal database of daily government response from Jan 28th, 2020, when the first COVID case was diagnosed in India till December 31st, 2022. Here,stringencymeasures, which gauge the severity of interventions such as lock-downs and travel restrictions, indicative of government control; andcontainmentmeasures, representing a spectrum of actions aimed at preventing or limiting virus transmission and theoverall government support, providing a holistic assessment of the government’s efforts in mitigating the virus’s spread. Using the Panel Corrected Standard Error (PCSE) method, this paper finds out that the stringency and overall government support interventions by the government have been successful in reducing the death counts by 25% and 23% respectively however the containment intervention alone has failed to reduce the death at all levels. Exploring regional variations, event study plots reveal nuanced temporal dynamics. The daily and 24-day lagged dependent variables, representing overall government response and stringency measures, reveal a consistent impact post-intervention at the all-India level. Both current and lagged variables show a reduction in COVID-19 deaths, with a more pronounced effect emerging after a four-day lag. Event-study plots with a 24-day lagged dependent variable confirm the anticipated negative impact of overall government response on deaths. However, the pattern diverges for stringency and overall government interventions compared to daily death counts.JEL ClassificationsI18, I38, C23, C54
