Impact of corona and lock down on persons with disabilities 2 Dhanasekar A

I Don't remember of this outbreak initially, today a pandemic COVID 19. As a person with disability with my capabilities I don't see it a major concern. 

What really is the concern here? With the imposition of Section 144 pan India my worry is how would Parsons with Disabilities get their essential services on a daily basis. Here I am talking  about persons with disabilities who have high restrictions in participation. How does a person get the services of an escort for buying essentials? Will he be allowed to go out? A million dollar question. 

As we have always been reiterating there a need for including the issues of persons with disabilities during planning and implementation of disater management. 

The positive factor here I see is spending of quality time with family members and without shadow of doubt safety of one and all.
