AdvertisementThe announcement of a country-wide shutdown in India last week has caused millions of migrant workers to flee major cities, resulting in huge crowds risking coronavirus infection. This scramble caused huge crowds to form at bus stations, captured in these videos and photographs. In some cases, people were left with no other option but to begin walking home, often living hundreds of miles outside the cities. Even for them it has been nearly impossible to escape the crowds in which the chances of coronavirus infection are greatly increased. Strong measures are being taken by Indian authorities against those who break the coronavirus lockdown measure put in place last Tuesday.
