Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that everyone should protect himself from coronavirus and also protect everyone else from this dreaded disease. By taking three measures to protect ‘My Protection-My Mask’ social distancing and repeatedly washing of hands with soap or by using sanitiser, we can protect ourselves from corona. All should be united to defeat corona. He was launching a public awareness campaign at Bhawani Chowk (Peergate) in State capital. He distributed masks to shopkeepers.

 

He also chalked out circles to ensure social distancing. “Positive cases are increasing. We all have to be careful. If we are negligent then we will pose a threat to family, our State and country. Situation should not be catastrophic, so all citizens should protect themselves from corona. We should not allow carelessness to pose a serious threat to others, so precautions are to be followed. Social organisations, religious leaders should come forward and co-operate in this work,” he told. He appealed to avoid formation of crowds on festivals.

 

The concept of ‘Meri Holi, Mera Ghar’ (My Holi, My Home) has to be followed. Circles (to maintain social distancing) should be formed outside every shop and full Protection should be maintained. Shopkeepers must keep sanitisers in their shop, wear masks themselves and encourage customers to wear masks as well. It is our responsibility to protect ourselves and everyone else. Just the government cannot do this work. We can defeat the corona virus only with people’s support. Former Mayor Alok Sharma and public representatives were present on this occasion.
