Second Covid-19 wave: People have ignored measures, says Harsh Vardhan

"The measures to prevent and contain Covid-19 are not rocket science! We have adopted these meas­ures all of last year and shown the world our success story," Vardhan said

Health minister Harsh Vardhan on Tuesday said it appeared people had given “tilanjali” (religious offering) to measures to protect against the coronavirus, lamenting public negligence amid a surge in Covid-19 cases.

“The measures to prevent and contain Covid-19 are not rocket science! We have adopted these meas­ures all of last year and shown the world our success story,” he said at a meeting with the health ministers of 11 states.
