LG stresses need to spend time, money & energy on early prevention of Coronavirus

Puducherry, Aug 14 (UNI) Lt.Governor Kiran Bedi on Friday stressed the need to spend time, money and energy on early prevention of COVID-19 as an essential need, as life is not recoverable.
In a Whatsapp posting, Ms Bedi said we are daily losing our elders amongst our families and friends which is becoming very grieving and it is a very serious situation.
She said we cannot keep absorbing and justifying it as we can prevent it if we take early precautions and all possible preventive measures together proactively.
Public officials and influential public leaders must play a vital role and be example of respecting all the guidelines of COVID containment, she said ,adding that the Ministers must stop or minimize calling officers physically to their offices and instead prefer virtual meetings.
As most of the offices being closed door and air conditioned makes the same air circulate, which makes all present vulnerable to the virus infection as happened in few recent cases already, she added.
Referring to the visit of WHO Chieif Scientist Soumya Swaminathan to Puducherry on Thursday, the Lt Governor said that WHO had given timely guidance.
COVID prevention must be made a personal mission and people’s movement as it will be here for a long haul as explained by Dr.Soumya, Ms Bedi said.
