Abstract

COVID-19 is a health pandemic which has afflicted 216 regions of the world and caused more than 3.3 million deaths till date. Simultaneously, the countrywide lockdowns and quarantine measures implemented to control the spread of the virus have resulted in a host of negative socio-economic repercussions including heightened economic vulnerability, business closures and increased health risks for the most marginalised groups in society.
