Everyone is riding this wave together.
ISLAMABAD: Social distancing is a public health measure which involves restricting large public gatherings and preventing people from physically interacting with one another, in order to reduce the spread of Covid-19. The whole world has become a victim to the deadly microscopic virus. Thousands are dead and hundreds of thousands have been infected. The virus shows no signs of slowing down and those countries that are not taking precautions are facing the wrath of the virus.
In these testing times it is important to decrease your interaction with people. Stay under quarantine and home until the threat has been averted. The more time you spend in public places, the greater the chance you have of being infected. Alcohol-based products are important as they can help destroy germs and washing hands could be considered the main factor to avoid being infected. It is also important to avoid non-essential use of public transport when possible. Work from home as much as you can.
The government has taken initiatives to overcome this problem but it can only follow through with the support of the nation. It is important to have faith in the government and be patient. Everyone is riding this wave together.
