Lockdown must continue with no relaxation, not to fell pray to relaxation.
Till no vaccine has been developed, people are at high risk, with no security, that while leaving their homes they can come back as positive carriers. Untimely relaxation in lockdown may have an adverse affects.
Government should calmly rethink over her relaxation policies. That may become a cause of repentance and havoc for them. No doubt, this time pandemic somehow is in control in Valley and administration is doing well and putting all efforts to curb it. But once it will take a quantum jump after relaxation than who is to blame.
Coronavirus lockdown needs to be extended for more some weeks, can be said up to 15th May 2020. No relaxation should be given to any sector as the position of positive cases has not declined yet.
COVID-19 positive cases are increasing day by day in numbers of 10- 13 in Valley. Even yesterday bread seller of Sopore was tested positive that left a shock wave to the residents of Soporians. So it's better not to be loose in the lockdown be it any of department or agency. Except the concerned protection departments who are fighting against COVID-19, as the chain breaks through lockdown, which is providing fruitful results in curbing COVID-19.
Lockdown must continue with no relaxation, not to fell pray to relaxation.
Actually we say it rather wrong, it should be physical distancing and not social distancing. Social distancing in my sense means not to be a part of any help, be aloof, avoid any kind help that you get. Don't take care of anyone in need, in your locality and surroundings. It is a sought of punishment government is asking and telling people to follow in her advisory.
As the newly positive cases are been traced on daily basis and the primary and secondary contacts are being shifted to quarantine but there are so many untested left behind who are yet to be traced, everybody knows the people are not maintaining social distancing besides administration is asking them through police, medical, volunteers, then how come is it possible if any department will function and we will remain on it to make the social distance, it is impossible especially in Kashmir, besides if we will see the good number of the hospital were converted into quarantine, no facility is for general patients, it's impossible to fight if the department's/agencies will open in Kashmir especially, it's better not to allow it at all in the whole country. Especially in Kashmir who still don't pay heed to social distancing they one way or other leave their homes unnecessarily.
Lockdown must continue with no relaxation, not to fell pray to relaxation.
So we request/suggest to Government to extend the date of complete lockdown for more some weeks so that chain can be broken easily and completely. The day when no positive case will show its graph, that day we can say we have won and eradicated this pandemic. Till then no relaxation.
We don't have any option left even for a single or iota of a mistake to commit that we all will suffer like other countries and lead the deaths in number. Let us all show patience, perseverance and take pains in helping the administration to curb this pandemic for our beautiful valley.
Keeping in view the ground reality we demand that any sort of relaxation in lockdown may have its adverse results and it must go up-to the desire time period as set by PM Mr Modi.
It should be extended up to 15 May or up to 15 June to fully curb this pandemic. This time India is in control in containing this pandemic, God forbid, if relaxation is given, there is no security, that pandemic will be in control of India and especially of this Valley too. Mind it. Better to stay indoors and remain safe.
As other countries early, took the things lightly and are now suffering still equipped with the best medical facilities, still couldn't control the high death rate and save people from deaths.
Lockdown must continue with no relaxation, not to fell pray to relaxation.
So this article should not be taken for granted only medical facilities should remain exempted, they are doing a commendable job and also other very necessary departments should be allowed that too if an emergency arises.
Rest total support should be given to complete lockdown till in hospitals all the cases would be declared and rested negative. Hope government will think over it, as soon as possible on a priority basis.
