Description :
COVID-19 is an acronym that stands for coronavirus disease of 2019. It is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most of the people who infected with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment. It has created a global health crisis that had a major impact on our world and our everyday lives. Not only the rate of infection and patterns of transmission threatens our sense of action, but the safety is requiring social distancing from each other.
After understanding the levels of its severity around the globe, World Health Organization (WHO) was declared on 11 March 2020 the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) as pandemic. The rise of COVID 19 cases in India, has also led the Central Government to respond by issuing nationwide lockdown orders commencing 25 March 2020 under the National Disaster Management Act 2005. The impact of the lockdown on establishments nationwide can be seen on the organized as well as unorganized employment sectors.
Employees of the ACC and Lloyds Metals doing work from home in the period on national lockdown, and they are getting full salary but the efficiency and performance of the employees is reduce as compare to work in office. In ACC lobours are hiring from the other state. In lockdown they were returned to their home town. Migrant labours are the major part of the employment force in India in the unorganized sector. It is difficult to estimate the total number of migrant labours in India. The reason for this is because there is no portal for the registration of migrant workers. By some estimates, India has around 40-50 million seasonal migrants. Using some essential safety measure and taking precaution by every individual industry can reduce the impact of COVID-19.
