All the workers were administered the homeopathy medicines by the company management as preventive care against the virus. Workers were given two rounds of this medication. Bajaj Auto MD Rajiv Bajaj had been strongly advocating opening up of industry and resuming economic activity by getting young people back to work. He had called the lockdown to contain the outbreak in India as draconian and responsible for decimation of the economy.
