Face masks- Much needed decision

Yet again, the spurt in Covid-19 cases in Jammu and Kashmir, has forced the respective district administrations to make wearing of face masks mandatory, which is the only tool available with the people as well as the government to prevent the deadly pandemic from spreading. The more we focus on preventive measures, the more we will achieve the goal. Thus, simultaneously, the wearing of face masks made compulsory by the government is the right decision at the right time as the leniency on the ground would deteriorate the situation further. Some of the people, who come out of their homes, have never stopped wearing the face masks, as they have fear of losing their dear ones and are quite serious in preventing the dangerous situation to come. There are hundreds of families, who have lost their dear ones since the outbreak of the disease and many among them have lost their parents as well. The deaths have ruined their lives and thus don’t want others to suffer like them. It stands the responsibility of one and all to take the present pandemic situation seriously as the cases are increasing at a rapid pace. It is the time when we should not only worry about ourselves, but also about the others, who are single handedly running the family affairs. We have to live in unison and our mistakes can ruin the lives of many, thus, wearing face masks and following the other guidelines should be ensured in letter and spirit so that no one is harmed and also the situation is tackled very easily and the previous like situations are prevented at the shortest possible time.
