We, the authorities, officials, and the public MUST STRIVE TO ENABLE THE ABATING STATUS OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC AND TAKE ALL NECESSARY STEPS TO ERADICATE THIS!
Especially, as the coronavirus pandemic has shown indications of gradually reducing, the public MUST avoid unnecessary gatherings as crowds and would respond to this with an acute awareness of the situation. The guidelines about the various relaxations have been released as detailed Government Orders at the end of each Phase of the Lockdown Imposition.
All the officials must ensure that these guidelines are strictly followed by one and all!
The public MUST WEAR FACE MASKS WHILE VENTURING OUT OR WHILE IN PUBLIC PLACES. The public must also follow the habit of regular washing of hands with soap while in the residence or in the office!
The pubic must also adhere strictly to keep social distancing. They must avoid unnecessary outings. Thus, the public must whole-heartedly extend their full cooperation and only this effort from the public will facilitate controlling the spread of the raging coronavirus pandemic.
Hence, I, the Chief Minister, request the whole-hearted cooperation and adherence to the guidelines which are given essentially for the public welfare!
