What a tragedy. Six, seven months back we were placed one of most safest country in the world due to the right action taken. But we are now becoming a worst country due to some negligence taken place at Brandix and the whole country is now paying for it. No country is safe and no one is safe we must be alert all the time as there is no treatment for this epidemic. Everyone must cooperate with govt. Authrities to keep the spread of this virus under control.

When in the 1 Phase of our handling of covid was better and political leaders claimed the credit for it. Now things are getting worst day by day no one is claiming the responsibility and they want ti put the blame on people .What a hypocrisy
