So far, India is the third most affected country in terms of total cases ( close to 25 lakh cases, right behind the USA and Brazil), with roughly 2% mortality rate. While most people recover, if infected, you can be absolutely sure that the inconvenience of quarantine that will rain down on you and your family will be as bad as the sickness itself (for at least 14 days officially and longer socially).
Your home and the entire floor will be a no-entry/no-exit zone, domestic help and vendors won't be allowed to service your needs (including milk, grocery, newspaper and laundry), and the attached social frown would be enough to make you sigh in muted groans.
Why not stay away from the infection altogether? Safety and prevention are your best bets against the disease. Oh, and the right use of technology...
Covid-19 pandemic would have caused greater disruption to our daily life and irreversible damage to the economy had the modern marvels of technology not come to our rescue. Think of how many jobs could be done from home, how many patients assisted via video calls and how many children received online schooling in 2020 despite global lockdown.
In a very specific case of community transmission, technology has played an even bigger role in stopping coronavirus in its tracks, nipping the virus in the bud. It has literally prevented Covid from entering your society, blocking it at the gate through touch-free security and communication management.
At a time of a global and persistent pandemic, India is in critical need if (and has widely embraced) end-to-end safety, gate-keeping and management apps for residential societies' operational and communication needs. We're talking about a digital communications suite for small, medium and large residential complexes, each with its own safety protocols, unique visitor management requirements and complex administration needs.
In simple terms, all parties involved in the functioning of a residential society, whether the resident, the Managing Committee member, the security guard or the office manager, everyone can stay seamlessly connected, approve/deny entry to visitors, receive packages safely, and handle society's financial affairs/bill payments digitally in real-time, without ever risking physical touch.

How does this genre of tech-based communication and gate-keeping prevent Covid from spreading? In several ways.
