Instead of writing the title as protocols and public, I should have written as Protocols Vs Public.

I think we people have some problem with protocols or we are not concerned about our life. We have decided to not follow the Covid protocols. We are on the red list but if you look at the people, then you will definitely feel that there is no Covid and these days are like usual days. There are many people who wear a mask but not on their face but under their chin or they keep them in their pockets. There are people who keep mask with them only for the administration so that the administration can’t find them. They think the administration is taking fine on not wearing a mask or not maintaining social distance as a joke or only for fun These people don’t understand this simple thing that wearing a mask will protect them not the people of the administration.

In the markets, the rife will make you feel that there is no word like social distance. If you see the rush of the people in the market, you will feel that they are in so much hurry as they are going to win the world. We are so sticky that we can’t leave without touching each other, that’s why climbing over one another. What will happen if you maintain social distance, you will die or live. Ask this question to ourselves. Many people though wash their hands and sanitize themselves and their belongings after coming from outside and also use sanitiser and sanitize their hands when they are outside. But many people wash their hands after coming from outside but not properly. Washing hands is important, but it is more important that you wash your hands properly. Then only the germs will be washed away or killed nor it is useless. And use soap or handwash or sanitiser for washing hands. Many only use water which will also not kill the germs. The Covid is an infectious disease and it loves to spread and take lives, so if your careless it is ready to make you its new victim. And it also loves expansion so it will not only infect you but your family and the person who will meet with the virus.

Now, the lockdown is knocking at the door, still, we are the same. If lockdown happens how much people will suffer, how much you will suffer. Think and at least to avoid lockdown, please follow protocols.

Vaccination has also started and many of you have taken vaccines and among them, some have started thinking that Covid will not be able to touch them. They are not wearing a mask or maintaining social distance. But even doctors are also saying that even you take the vaccine, then also maintain Covid protocols. So, don’t listen to others but at least listen to those who you will go if you are infected, who can save your life. And if you have not taken vaccines, take them. And if you have any doubt regarding Covid, then ask the doctors or experts. And there are many people who are avoiding vaccine for the over-crowd in the centres. I hope and request the government to maintain social distance in the centres. So, that covid protecting centre does not turn into covid affecting centre.

Though there are many people who are maintaining all the protocols and are not going out without necessary work. Due to those people and administration, the positivity rate has been reduced in Assam now. The positivity rate of Cachar has also been reducing. But still, we are on the red list. So, I just want to tell you that we public and government should work together to defeat Covid. Though it is the responsibility of the government to protect the public, it is also our responsibility to protect ourselves.

The experts, doctors, Administration, police, reporters are saying the public for nearly one and half year to maintain Covid protocols. And if then also some people don’t understand, then punishment is the only way. It is a shame for that person that you are fined for trying to kill yourselves or attempting suicide. I used attempting suicide as if you are not maintaining Covid protocols, then it will have only one meaning that you don’t want to live anymore and want to die. That’s why you are inviting Covid so that it infects you. If you want to die, then die but don’t kill others by not following Covid protocols.

STAY HOME, STAY SAFE
