Prof B L Kaul
The nation expresses its gratitude and satisfaction on the measures taken by the Administration to fight against deadly virus COVID-19 . The Prime Minister Narendra Modis’call for Janta Curfew on 22nd March was an unbelievable success with an overwhelming response which has generated a new hope for the Nation in its fight against global crisis of Corona virus. It was a great feeling to hear the bells and sound of togetherness, a sign of gratitude shown to the doctors, health workers and other servicing staff, true heroes of the nation who are on the front line of battle against the Corona virus.
With the Corona virus declared by the WHO as a global Pandemic, the entire country and the world are taking whatever preventive measures they can to contain the disease viz, hand washing ,wearing masks, schools, colleges, universities closed , cities being locked down, visas being cancelled, air port screening , quarantine, containment, hospitalisation and treatment and now railways, road, and air flights being cancelled. Since there is no vaccine and treatment available as yet, entire world seems to unequivocally agree that the virus has to be contained and eliminated. Our lessons from the viral infection has always been and will always remain the same i.e to move from fear to love ,from taking to giving , from hoarding to distribution and sharing and towards humanity and oneness. When we realise this, and we stop feeling scared, spreading panic and start becoming stronger and trusting ourselves and divine nature, our vibrations and positivity will rise to a higher level and the threat from the virus will recede. We have to wholeheartedly rise above the occasion and focus on our determinations to contain and beat the virus by strictly following the guidelines and adversaries from time to time from the GOVT. and medical fraternity
Our country is at 2nd stage of this pandemic disease and we have to try that it does not enter the 3rd stage. Watch your symptoms viz, fever, cough, and shortness of breath, appearing within 2-14 days. after exposure. Spreads mainly from person to person and between people in close contact through droplet infection when infected person coughs or sneezes. Prevention is better than cure and to maintain strictly personal hygiene. To prevent spread of corona virus pandemic and to break down transmission chain of virus , it is necessary to enforce Social Distancing i.e prevent /minimise close contact between people which is the need of the hour. In this direction Prime Minister Modiji addressed the Nation which was his 2nd COVID address on 24th and announced Complete Lockdown of the entire nation for 21 days up to 14 th April. He emphasised not to step out of your home except in emergency and for procuring essential commodities. Self distancing is the only practical solution to protect yourself, your family, and the community from the viral infection, which will die its own death in due course of time.Modij is a ray of hope in the lives of a billion Indians. We are determined to win this war against this deadly virus.
It is appealed to the public that should not panic and must avoid hoarding of food articles and to ensure that everyone gets its due requirement. Public is urged to sustain and maintain the regular supply chain of essential foods along with price monitoring during shut down and also to ensure un-necessary hoarding of masks and sensitizers . JMC may devise mechanism of ward wise registered rehari vendors of vegetables /fruits or any other method to avoid huge gathering and rush at the mundi / shop. JMC is undertaking extensive fumigation and disinfection drive which is a laudable effort and also chalk out areas wise plan of different wards of localities. We all should come together and join hands with JMC in maintaining proper sanitation to fight corona.We all are appreciating the dedicated work of doctors, health workers, and the society is indebted to them.
We salute their superb dedication and the Govt.has to ensure that they do not fall prey to COVID-19, while discharging their duties against this dreaded viral infection. He urged the authorities to streamline and reinforce the supply chain of high levels protective gears, PPE, N-95 masks for doctors and health workers for their protection against the viral infection, besides need to scale up a wide net work of testing facilities and required number of equipments like Ventilators and the need for up grading the health facilities in the UT of J&K on war footing to deal with the challenges. It is gratifying to know that state Govt has released to fight spread of corona infection. Since International supplies could not be possible, it is urged to have domestic manufacturing of medical devices by the central Govt to augment the supply PM. Narendra Modi has announced a big package for up gradation of health services to fight corona and we all are grateful to him for this act of boldness.
It is right time to spread positivity to fight corona and be a part of voluntary group to reach at the elders, those with disabilities and other vulnerable ones to help them get access to daily essentials and medicines. Build positive connections in the society to tide over these stressful times.
Continuous lock down self quarantine, home stay and strictly following guide lines from time to time is the practical solution in reducing the spread of viral infection. Hence our priority would be to extend full cooperation and support to the Government in every genuine effort to deal with the present crisis.
