“The COVID-19 pandemic has derailed everything in the country that one could ever imagine. Even though there were health emergencies in the past, a pandemic which has the potential to affect the entire nation is a huge concern.
I am from Vijayawada and the area where I stay is categorised as the red zone and is under containment. People are not allowed to come out of their homes and me being a medical store owner have the permission from the authorities to run the shop. I used to open my store at 9 am before the lockdown, but these days, I am opening my shop at 6:30 am and working hard for 14 hours everyday just to ensure people get the medicines on time. Not only that, we have been delivering medicines door to door to the senior citizens who are unable to come out of their homes. This is the time where we have to work beyond our capacities risking our lives, and we are doing our best to ensure we contribute our part to the nation.
Even the public should understand the purpose of the lockdown. Despite the continuous appeals made by the police and the government officials, there are still some people who are violating the lockdown norms by joining in small gatherings. There are many misconceptions associated with the spread of corona virus among the people. They think that only the children and older people will be affected with the virus. But all it takes is any unsuspected person who’s infected for the spread to occur.
It’s good to see that police have been motinering the containment areas with drone surveillance for the past two weeks and I feel it’s an effective way to control the movement of the public. I believe it’s the collective effort of the government, and the public cooperation which can change the course of the pandemic, and it’s high time that we all should act responsibly as a society to fight this situation.”
