Sure, but the implementation was still absurdly bad. For example, by imposing a harsh lockdown on cities with no plan for migrant workers, the only thing they could do was head home to their villages, ensuring the virus would be distributed widely across the country.

Can't say I'm surprised though. When and where do governments ever treat migrant workers as humans?

Where do the migrant workers normally sleep?

Answer: In the cities they chose to leave.

"Chose"? Most of them live a hand to mouth existence: if they can't work, they don't eat.
