Committee on Covid-19, Manipur (CADA, UPF, NIPCO, AMSU and MAPI Council) organised mass awareness programme on Covid-19 at several places in Imphal West, Imphal East and Thoubal districts on Saturday.
In a release, Committee on Covid-19 media coordinator Geetchandra Mangang said that the awareness programme was conducted with use of audio recordings on proper adherence to the COvid-19 SOPs and benefits of vaccination.
Pointing out that Covid-19 pandemic could not be defeated if people undermine the prevailing situation, he urged all those who show symptoms to get tested as hiding their illness would only lead to aggravation of the situation.
