People have not understood the significance of wearing a mask. They simply only cover the mouth. They should cover the nose. The authorities should take strict measures to impose proper wearing of nose cover. The virus can spread while talking to each other. Removing the mask and talking should be avoided....self-isolation and self-regulation are important to control the spread. Bus drivers, conductors, and three wheel drivers are seen only covering the mouth and exposing their noses fully. They should be fined for violating the health requirements.

I think a lock down during the Festive Season would have been the most sensible thing a person with Common Sense do.
