Battle against second wave not over but people throw Covid caution to the wind

India — Despite the government cautioning people to not let down their guard against the coronavirus disease (Covid-19), as the battle is far from over, several incidents have reported in the recent few days where Covid-19 rules were flouted.

The Covid-19 disease primarily spreads from one person to another through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes and crowds are considered to be a fertile ground for transmission of the disease. Despite this knowledge, people in several states of India, some of which were under the shadow of a high number of cases as well as deaths, were seen flouting Covid-19 norms.

Here is a list of places where people were recently seen flouting Covid-19 norms:

Madhya Pradesh is among the adversely affected states in the nation and faced a large number of cases as well as deaths during the second wave. Bhind along with other 51 districts of the state is under strict lockdown-like measures due to the rising number of cases. Law enforcement officials in Bhind on Thursday too had meted out punishment to Covid-19 curfew violators. People attending a wedding function at Bhind’s Umri were caught without masks and flouting Covid-19 rules and were also made to do frog jumps.
