| Popis: | In India, a national lockdown was enforced following the novel COVID-19 pandemic coronavirus. This article addresses social, psychological, and health issues following the lockdown, concentrating on women of all strata in India. A literature search was conducted using Google Scholar. Besides, current guidelines, including those of the World Health Organization and publications from a range of nonacademic outlets (e.g., news website publications), have been accessed. National lockdown programs have resulted in financial losses and mass concern and agony due to factors such as a sense of cornering and loss of control. We interviewed 21 Indian women from different ages and professional backgrounds. The outbreak and lockdown of COVID-19 have several implications for people’s lives, specifically females; stress, fear, frequent griefs, children’s school breaks, and lockdown in India have increased psychological issues and concern for the economic future of their families. |
