RESEARCH
Assessing the Efficacy of Lockdown 2020 to Curb COVID-19 Growth in India
In March 2020, India imposed its first nationwide lockdown to combat the global pandemic. The most bewildering question of the time was: How effective is a lockdown? This research paper responds by the employment of the SIR Model. Values of the growth reproductive factor pre and during lockdown were compared to quantify the extent to which total confirmed cases were reduced. Predictive analysis was done using Holt’s Linear Model and Facebook’s prophet feature to anticipate further cases of the COVID-19. The study analysed and interpreted India’s national lockdown(s).
