Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Friday addressed people of Odisha and appealed to take up a ‘14 Days’ Mask Abhiyan’ (campaign). He also talked about that if somebody will be found with out mask at public locations, double wonderful will probably be levied on him.
Addressing the people of the state on Covid-19 situation, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik mentioned as follows:
The world is moving through an odd situation for the final one year due to Coronavirus pandemic. Human history had not witnessed such a situation in near future. During the first wave of the pandemic we could save many lives with the help of people, panchayat representatives and Covid warriors. Even death rate was lower in our State as compared to different states.
We had to take many bold steps during the first wave. We had to go for lock down and shut down. Resultantly, people faced many trouble. Even the business sector faced huge loss. Essentially the most it affected was the income of the poor people. Social life was also affected.
Now the second wave of Covid pandemic has arrived. It’s spreading rapidly. Lock Down, night curfew and Shut Down have started in many different states. But when we’ll obey the Covid norms properly, wear mask properly, then with out lock down we will examine spread of Covid. And for this we’ll go for a 14 days’ mask campaign starting from today. For fourteen days we will strictly abide the Covid norms which will probably be a habit for us. And therefore allow us to take a pledge to wear mask properly. We will not just hang it on the neck however put on it in such a way so that it will cover the nose and face. We should not go outside with out sporting a masks. And then only we can check spread of Corona virus.
And for this I would appeal mothers to see that their family members, particularly children, when going outside should put on mask correctly. If mothers will be vigilant, corona cannot enter their homes.
Government is guarding outside, mothers ought to guard the house.
Why the whole society will be penalised for the fault of some people? I’ve directed Police and administration to levy double fine on people who is not going to put on mask correctly.
Masks is the most important shield for us now. The people who have not taken vaccine yet ought to surely put on mask. And then only we can check spread of Coronavirus. Then only we can avoid lock down. We can stop the negative impact of lock down.
If you want that your income shouldn’t be affected and your profession runs properly, then certainly abide the mask rule.
Now the second wave of corona pandemic is going on. In some nations even the third wave has arrived. So, in future, how much Corona waves we will have to face, no one is aware of. Therefore, if we can bring a small change in our life style, if we can make mask our company, then we can save ourselves from the fury of lock down. Your cooperation will only make us to win in this battle.
