Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday stressed the need for mass testing to isolate coronavirus hotspots and allowing businesses in other areas to gradually reopen.

Gandhi took to Twitter to write: "The one-size-fit-all lockdown has brought untold misery and suffering to millions of farmers, migrant labourers, daily wagers and business owners. It needs a "smart" upgrade, using mass testing to isolate virus hotspots and allowing businesses in other areas to gradually reopen."
