    Don't do lockdown. Put police in public place ,public transportation, school colleges and villages to monitor whether people and politicians are following covid rules.Impose fine for those who violated covid protocols.Give lathi charge for people and politicians who are forming crowds .Also police should announce using mic that omicron is dangerous virus in public places so that people and politicians will fear and follow covid rules..
