As part of the public awareness campaign to stall the spread of Covid-19, chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat administered the pledge of Covid appropriate behaviour to MLAs and officials at the secretariat here on Friday.
Rawat said that public representatives, officers and personnel will have to lay special focus on awareness for protection from Covid. Considering the imminent winters and festive season, wide scale awareness will have to be raised on the observance of mandatory requirement for wearing masks in public, social distancing and rules related to hygiene. Stating that more vigilance is needed against Covid during the winter, the CM said that public awareness campaign will be conducted in the state till Covid is completely eradicated from the state. “One can fight against this disease using precautionary measures. It is important to follow all the guidelines of the World Health Organisation and the Health department. Officials should hold meetings through the virtual medium as much as possible. Though there has been some drop in infection due to vigilance, this is not the time to be careless in any way,” stressed Rawat.
The MLAs were present through virtual mode while additional chief secretary Radha Raturi, secretarites RK Sudhanshu, Amit Singh Negi, Shailesh Bagauli and other officials concerned were also present.
