The ICMR task force on Covid-19 hasn’t met in over two weeks, while the daily official statement now mentions only good news, not new cases or deaths.

New Delhi: The last meeting of the Group of Ministers (GoM) on Covid-19, headed by Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan, was held on 9 June. The last health ministry briefing on the coronavirus crisis took place two days later, on 11 June. The last time the task force of the Indian Council of Medical Research met was more than two weeks ago.

As the number of Covid-19 cases in India spike to 4,56,183, and the number of cases and deaths in a 24-hour period touch 15,968 and 312 respectively, the central government is becoming less visible, receding into the background as if in tactical retreat.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah may have increased his visibility by directly taking charge of the worsening situation in national capital Delhi, but the rest of the top government machinery, which was everywhere in the early weeks and months of the pandemic, is hardly seen or heard from.
