When country was put in complete lockdown the aviation sector was hit the hardest. Although Vande Bharat initiative was started to bring back Indians stuck in outside countries back to home, the domestic flights were put on hold. Railways sector was also put on hold thus people were left stranded in different cities all over the country. Finally, the aviation industry was given a nod to resume domestic flights in May, but still people were left in uncertainty about the precautions to follow in these COVID times.
