Kolkata : CK Birla Hospitals, CMRI & BMB started mask
distribution campaign to enhance the awareness among citizens of Kolkata. The
campaign involves a free mask distribution activity in the traffic signals,
public transport depots and prominent roads of Kolkata. Amidst the rapid growth
of Covid infection, negligence towards masking has been a real challenge for
both Government and the healthcare sector. To ensure an authoritative
compulsion about masking, this initiative began today.
A large number of people regardless of their age are getting affected everyday in the second wave. This initiative by CK Birla Hospitals is a precautionary measure to curb the rising infection graph. People have become reckless in their attitudes towards Covid-19 lately due to which the nation is now facing this tremendous rise in the number of active cases. Even though authorities are vigilant we would like to shoulder the responsibility and prevent Covid offenders from making the situation more difficult. Since most Covid offenders are ready with their excuses of not wearing a mask, be it heat or suffocation we would be making them more aware of the situation. Despite of the several audio campaigns and mass arresting of the masking-violators, people seem to be apathetic towards it.
According to Dr. Simmardeep Gill, the
COO of CK Birla Hospitals ,” In
these trying times we are barely able to
keep our heads above water. We are in crisis. The number of infected people is rapidly
surging up. Along with maintaining physical distance, it is important to wear
Mask. #Mask up Kolkata an initiative taken up by both CMRI and BMB hospital is
aimed at making the community aware about the importance of wearing a mask by
free distribution of mask in and around the hospital. While people have become
numb towards this deadly threat lately after suffering from their personal
emotional or economic losses, we need to take the humanitarian way to approach
them and make them understand the necessity of masking."
