A day after cancelling all political programmes in view of the coronavirus outbreak, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav appealed to the people on Friday to stay with family to check the spread of the pathogen that has so far affected 19 people, including a foreigner, in Uttar Pradesh.
"Today I want to say one thing to my party workers and people of the state.. treatment of COVID-19 is the job of a doctor but checking its spread is our responsibility.
"Visit a doctor immediately for testing if you spot COVID-19 symptoms in yourself, family or neighbourhood. Remain clean, don't meet others and also check spread of rumours through WhatsApp and other media," the SP chief said.
He also said, "Remain with your family and think positive, that for the first time there is a summer vacation and we are also at home."
