Going a step ahead of 'No
Mask-No Entry', the Rajasthan government will run a 'No Mask-No Movement'
campaign across the state to break the infection chain.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said the campaign will
be run with strictness so that the spread of the virus could be contained.
In a video conference with mayors, deputy mayors,
chairpersons, vice chairpersons, executive officers and commissioners of urban local
bodies on COVID-19 and Chiranjeevi health insurance scheme, Gehlot said the
second wave of the infection is very dangerous and the situation can be handled
by strictly following guidelines like wearing face mask and maintaining social
distancing.
"The situation created by the coronavirus can
only be conquered by following the COVID-19 protocols such as wearing face
masks, social distancing. For this, the government will run a 'No Mask, No
Movement' campaign to make sure that people do not move without wearing face
masks," he said.
He also requested the people to cooperate in the
strict steps being taken by the state government.
"Without discipline, we cannot break the
chain of infection. Keeping this in mind, the government has taken steps like
public discipline fortnight. This may cause inconvenience to people for some
time, but to save lives, all of us have to stay in self-discipline," a
release quoting him as saying.
Gehlot said that the battle against the
coronavirus will not only be fought in hospitals, but in society and at home
also.
He also asked the public representatives and
officials to ensure that maximum people register in the Chiranjeevi health
insurance scheme in which residents of the state will get insurance cover of Rs
5 lakh.
Health minister Raghu Sharma also requested the
people to follow the guidelines.
Principal Secretary Health Abhay Kumar said 1,900
micro-containment zones have been made in the state and 55 people have been
shifted from home isolation to institutional quarantine facilities in the last
24 hours for violating quarantine norms. PTI
