Stalin urges people, party cadre to follow COVID-19 norms
DMK president M.K. Stalin on Friday said everyone should work with caution to prevent another lockdown like last year. Mr. Stalin said the lockdown last year had led to job losses and economic distress for a large number of people who still had not recovered fully from it. “Many are still facing mental distress,” he said, asking people and DMK cadre to follow the COVID-19 restrictions in force and act with caution. While the Centre had announced that everyone aged over 18 would be eligible for vaccination against COVID-19 from May 1, he said in reality there was a shortage of vaccines. “There are many reports of people who went to get their first dose of vaccination being turned away and even those whose second dose is due being told that there is a shortage of vaccines,” he said.More Related News
