In the last week we had 3000+ corona positive cases in India,even after the complete lockdown the numbers are not less as well expected.
Some newspaper reported that the lockdown might be extended until Apr 30 on selected districts or even complete country but there is no official announcement yet.

Now the cases has moved up 719 toll while I am writing here.
In Telangana a Private doctor and his wife got infected by patient or someone.
We are getting afraid now how many patients got infected by Doctor.
Our CM is careless person and tells all bullish as he even not paying anything in advance. I don't think the funds might reach exactly to patients and workers.
In the past I heard some donated checks are bhogus as they don't have cash in banks. ( not coronavirus donations ).
These people has an advance donations for elections, but not for crisis to people.

^Atleast half of the announced relief amount should reach the prior people. 
Still there is no relief announced for the working middle class people because most of the people are now afraid of their EMIs in the lockdown period and everyone expecting an announcement related to this.
Meanwhile active corona cases increased to 633 and 16 deaths were reported.

To protect the interest of health workers, the government announced a Rs 50 lakh insurance per health worker. Nirmala Sitharaman said safai karamcharis, ward-boys, nurses, paramedics, technicians, doctors and specialists and other health will be covered by this special insurance scheme.
"Any health professional who while treating Covid-19 patients meets with some accident, then he/she would be compensated with an amount of Rs 50 lakh under the scheme," the announcement said.
Besides this, all government health centres, wellness centres and hospitals of the Centre as well as state governments will be covered under this scheme. Under this scheme, approximately 22 lakh health workers would be provided insurance cover to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

As per today's announcement, 80 crore poor people will get 5 kg wheat or rice and 1 kg of preferred pulses for free every month for the next three months. This will be provided under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Ann Yojana. This is over and above the free ration that they already get under other schemes at present.

^ Everything you told was right but the big issue is people are not ready to face such kind of extended lockdown.People who are living by daily wages will be on streets and might end up dying for hungry rather than Corona spread.The same thing happens in USA as well but trump announces $1000 paycheck for everyone to survive but in India there is no such action yet.
Whole India will be under lock down for the next 21 days as prime minister requested.This seems precaution measure from Indian government since the affected raye increased 100% in the last week and started to climb more faster day by day.So it feels like we are moving to stage 3 and the only way to stop it is social distancing.
Numbers are very quickly increasing in sub-continent after ending in China we all need to have some stick locked down for our safety because its not easy to fight against this with normal life hopefully all will be ok after some days as we are also in locked down situation for next few weeks.
