Why is it so difficult to wear masks, wash hands etc, CM asks amid rising covid cases & continued violation of norms

Chandigarh, Aug 1 (UNI) Taking serious note of the `highly irresponsible’ behaviour of people who continue to put the lives of other Punjabis to risk by violating the Covid safety rules, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Saturday warned of dangerous consequences for the state, which has been witnessing a spike in cases over the past few days.
Pointing out that the state had reported 665 cases on Friday, which also saw 4900 challans being issued for various violations, Captain Amarinder asked why it was so difficult to wear masks and wash hands or not spit on roads. “Don’t you care for your fellow Punjabis,” he asked those who insisted on continuously ignoring his appeals to adhere to all safety norms. Citing the example of Maharashtra and Delhi, he said the safety of Punjab was in the hands of its people.
During his weekly Facebook Live #AskCaptain interaction, the Chief Minister also told the youth that while his government had announced opening of gyms from August 5, in line with the Government of India’s Unlock 3.0 guidelines, they would need to strictly follow all protocols and the directives which the health department would be issuing shortly.
