SRINAGAR, Mar 21: National Conference leader Omar Abdullah today said one-day shutdowns to contain the spread of Coronavirus is a “meaningless tokenism” which can lead to complacency, and called for allowing more people to take vaccine against COVID-19.
The Madhya Pradesh Government had on March 19 announced Sunday lockdowns in Bhopal, Indore and Jabalpur till further orders in view of the spurt in Coronavirus cases.
“With a rampaging virus that has a 2-14 day incubation period this one-day lockdown is meaningless tokenism. All it will do is create a misplaced sense of complacency,” Abdullah tweeted.
The former Jammu and Kashmir Chief minister said vaccines were the answer to the spread of COVID-19 and called for opening up the vaccines to more people.
“Vaccines are the answer not one day lockdowns. Open up vaccines to more people,” he added.
