Bhubaneswar: Lockdowns cannot be the solution to fight COVID-19 as it hurts several livelihoods, said Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik while addressing an all-party meeting via video-conferencing here on Monday.
The lockdown was imposed to slow down the impact of second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, he reasoned and called upon the people to prepare themselves for a long fight by following the protocols.
“Vaccination is the our main strategy to fight the virus,” he said.
But, wearing masks, washing hands regularly, maintaining social distances, avoiding crowding and staying at home unless really necessary to go out are our main weapons to control the virus spread, he said and called upon the people to follow these rules religiously.
