Second Phase:
pandemic and the need for personal hygiene and physical distance. People were advised to make use of the given material for their daily living and movements. COVID-19 has affected communities, business and organizations everywhere globally, inadvertently affecting the financial markets and the global economy. Uncoordinated governmental responses and lockdowns have led to a disruption in the supply chain. The food sector, including food distribution and retailing, has been put under strain because of people panic-buying and stockpiling food. This has led to increased concerns about shortages of food products such as milk, cultivated items, rice and vegetables. Panic-buying has resulted in many things.

The confirmed cases per million population in the state was 778.35, as against 756.61 in the country, as on Friday.
