Lockdown, Day 58: Business (not) as usual

India is gradually opening up its skies, with domestic air travel resuming on Monday. This, as India's case count hit 1,12,359, a rise of over 5,600 cases- one of the highest single-day rises in recent weeks. Flyers, however, can forget about easy travel - with a slew of mandatory safety and social distancing measures being announced.

While India finds ways to get back on its feet, Corporate India may take over a year to get back to business as usual, with a 25% dip in revenues.
