A request to politicians, celebrities, journalists, and other public figures:

Can you please wear a proper mask in meetings, in public interactions, etc.?

And please, can we all avoid this - & #39;removing mask just for the photo& #39; bit? Sending the right signal is important!

Thanks
No need to remove the mask when interacting with media ...we can hear you perfectly well with the mask on.

Remember - you are setting an example for everyone else, who is watching you on the screen (video/photos).

Please set the right example! Thanks.
And this is a request for everyone else as well.

If you are meeting anyone outside the people in your house (office colleagues, friends, relatives, etc.) ...don& #39;t remove your masks!

This is especially true for large indoor gatherings. More the people - greater the risk.
In fact, even inside your house - if you have old people with comorbidities and risk factors - best to limit interactions with them, without masks.

At best masks are a minor inconvenience. But by wearing one while speaking with the old, at risk - you are protecting them.
If you are going for essential work to any crowded place (shops, hospital, public transport, etc.)...better to wear a good quality N95/surgical mask, compared to a cloth mask.

The prices have come down significantly (under Rs 40 for N95... under Rs 10 for Surgical Mask).
Likely many more in India... https://twitter.com/aparanjape/status/1380887683111645193?s=19">https://twitter.com/aparanjap...
