The Impact of Microsmart Lockdown (MSLD) Strategy on Flattening the Covid-19 Curve in Pakistan

A new coronavirus that emerged in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China has now spread to almost every country on Earth. At the end of February, Pakistan reported its first case. Three weeks after the initial incident, with a total of more than 880 cases, the nation went into lockdown. While a month-long shutdown in Pakistan successfully contained the COVID-19 pandemic, the government gradually lifted the restrictions in late April to ease economic pressures. Using data collected from the National Institute of Health Pakistan's daily status reports, this research examines the consequences of both harsh lockdowns and smart lockdowns in detail. According to our data, the number of instances increased before to the lockdown but decreased after it began. It demonstrated that the lockdown was successful.
