We have to be prepared for campaigns like Janata Curfew:Yogi

At present there are more than 2000 isolation beds in the state. Within the next two days this number will cross  10,000," he said.

He said that the Janata curfew is a collective fight for the safety and health of 130 crore citizens of the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said of the 27 infected  persons with Corona virus in the state in which 11 people have become completely healthy. The rest of the people are improving rapidly.

Awareness is the most effective protection against Corona, he said.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday addressed the citizens of the state from the Gorakshanath temple and called for making the Janata curfew a success.

"In order to prevent increase in the number of people infected with the Coronavirus, we have to be prepared for campaigns like Janata curfew. An important aspect of this disease is prevention and all these efforts are being made for prevention. The precautions we should take in terms of prevention of Coronavirus will be very important," he said.

The CM said that Coronavirus is an infectious disease. The disease can spread to other people after contact with an infected person. Therefore, it is essential that we maintain social distance. Whatever suggestions are being given by the doctors, we should follow them all. Prime Minister Modi has called for a Janata Curfew to keep the country's 130 crore people safe. All the citizens of the state must register their participation in this campaign and discharge their national duties, said the CM.

''It is commendable the way all our officers and staff including doctors, para medical staff, health experts, SDRF, are fighting this battle on the front foot. He said that I appeal to the public to not to panic from Corona virus, but to fight against it. The government is fully in their support. We have also said earlier that the state will not allow shortage of essential commodities in any way. The government is making arrangements for the maintenance and food for those who are unable to find work in the present situation. There is no problem, so do not hoard the essential commodities by crowding the shops'', he said.

''I appeal to the drug dealers and businessmen to discourage hoarding. Do not charge anything more than the MRP. If such a complaint is received from anywhere, the government will take strict action against it,'' he said, adding that the way citizens are ensuring their participation in the Janata Curfew today is a welcome move. By participating in this type of campaign, we will be successful in defeating the Coronavirus.
