Meet Habeeb Mohammed, Butcher At Night And Covid Worker During Day

Habeeb Mohammed, a butcher in Thiruvananthapuram, helps the district in relief work by sanitising vehicles and houses of Covid families.

For Habeeb Mohammed, a 36-year-old butcher in Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram, work goes on from midnight till 8 in the morning after which he dedicates his time to helping the district's Covid task force in their relief work. His Covid relief work involves sanitising the houses of families with positive patients. Wearing a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kit, Mr Mohammed sanitises the compound, the gate and the vehicle the family travels in. He also sanitises the entire house once the family finishes their 14-day quarantine period.  In his endeavour, he is joined by some volunteers of the task force who work under the district collector. Shameer, a beneficiary of Mr Mohammed's services said, “Since we tested positive, we had informed volunteer Habeeb who sanitised the house compound and will sanitise the inside of the house, after our quarantine period is over.”
