Collector’s appeal
With the state continuing to report over 1,000 Covid cases every day, District Collector S Suhas has urged people to learn to live with Covid for some time. “Living with Covid does not mean getting sick. It means making Covid resistance a part of life,” Suhas while attending an event. “Reducing the Covid death toll is our priority. Following social distancing norms, washing hands with soap and sanitiser and wearing a mask have proven to be effective in preventing Covid,” he said. He said a drastic increase in the number of patients would destabilise the administration’s defences. “This should not happen,” said Suhas.
