The world is coming to terms with the reality of complete lockdowns due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Social distancing through self-quarantine is the only measure to flatten the curve of this rapidly spreading virus. The streets are empty and there is no rush to reach anywhere at all. Amidst all this silent chaos, you as an individual can make a difference every day by following these basics:
#ShareButResponsibly
Every WhatsApp message or Facebook post need not be shared. Know the facts and for that rely on interviews of doctors or WHO-approved articles. You have to be 10 times more responsible now as a small message can develop large fears.
#HomeAlone
By staying indoors, you not only save yourself but also save others too. The cops are outside during this critical time to ensure you are safe. Don’t try and be a hassle for them.
#HelpTheOld
Don’t forget to help the old and elderly in your society. Remember that their immunity is low and they must not step outside at all. Arrange essentials and groceries for them online or take full precautions while going out.
#SharingIsCaring
Have an extra pair of gloves and a mask? Feel free to share that with your garbage collector. Educate them on how to stay safe during COVID-19.
#MakeSomeNoise
Doctors, nurses, medical professionals, garbage collectors, police, grocery shop owners, etc. are the real-life heroes. They are working constantly so that you can lead a safe life and are not devoid of any essentials at any point. Clap for them every day at 5 P.M.
#ByeByeHouseHelp
Your house help needs to stay at home just as much as you do. Give her paid leaves as she cannot work from home for you and others. Cutting her salary would not be fair during these crises.
