Abstract:
India has a vast population with a weak public health system, which is vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Economically and physically, India is in a state of considerable risk of the COVID-19 pandemic. Community participation through various measures is the only way to limit the spread of the virus. The present study investigates the possibility of social intervention and involvement in controlling the pandemics and its cascading effect. The study identifies 5 'S', namely, segregation, sensitization, social fencing, solidarity, and social services, to control the disease through people's participation that could throw insights into controlling the virus and minimizing the aftershock of the pandemic.
