DIMINISHING DARE DEVIL COVID-19 BY UNITED EFFORTS

Rabindranath Patra,Secretary. Institute of Social Action and Research Activities (ISARA).

Odisha.Corona is a newly emerged unseen virus for which there is no readymade medicine or specific treatment but however observing the symptoms our doctors are trying their level best through various health advisory methods and symptom based medicine composition to save the life’s of affected people. Medicine scientists are trying their level best to find out solutions by inventing reliable medicines etc.

At present there is one option I.e psycho-therapy like maintaining social distance in our each and every activity, maximum time it is better to stay at home, regular hand washing particular while you enter in house from outside and using for mask is must while going outside in any emergency work.Here we have issues like livelihood and work performance, still here also one must have to maintain social distance.

It is a global issue not only in India. At the national level centre govt are taking equally precautionary steps to fight against corona.

Now we at grass root level NGO and volunteers have to play a major role particularly to sensitize the community people to follow the govt health advisory guidelines for a long time in each and every level.

In this connection earlier we have proved GO-NGO collaboration Odisha please recall for 1987 draught 1991 cyclone 1999 super cyclone 2004 tsunami till date we have covered phyline, hood hood, titli, fani and also other disaster and epidemics which tested and proved wort full for the affected people.

The Dist administration is really full cooperative and hope the GO-NGO collaborative effort will prove the historic result to check control this issue for ever. Our suggestion to from a district level advisory committee including some dedicated intellectual rated doctors, religious leaders, NGO heads, Grass root leaders, some of peoples representative those who have enough influence in local level, so it will easy to control and motivate people those who are out of track to follow govt health advisory guidelines and also they can able to solve the village level issues and motivate people to abide the govt health advisory guide lines.

Now it is the time for summer and kharif cultivation we have to look after how the farmers In village level will get quality agriculture inputs in time with some subside and also in genuine rate. And also this is the right time some traders are also waiting to cheat and exploit the farmers in various way and options of during sell of inputs. So Dist admin also look after this where this advisory committee will also provide input to the admin.

At last I do appeal to all the people please follow the COVID-19 relate all govt health advisory guide lines.

Please completely follow and maintain social distance in your each and every activity in personal, in home and work place also. Practice regular hand wash. Use face mask always while you are in outside and also while meeting other people. Please mind it corona issue will not going to end very soon it depends on how we follow the preventive strategies to defeat corona.
