What does Section 144 mean

Section 144 is not a closedown of essential services like the medical, grocery and food services. All necessary services are open just like any other day. Hence people should not panic and rush out to buy goods like vegetables etc. , Grocery sections in supermarkets are open. Hence there is no reason to go and panic buy. 

When you go out to buy essential commodities it’s very important to maintain a social distancing of minimum 1 metre because with this distance virus cannot affect us because it cannot travel that far. 

When standing at the grocery line maintain the advised distance wear mask compulsorily and use sanitisers, hand-wash regularly. Understand that as the virus spreads and stays alive. We are all carriers as it can stay on our clothes. So maintaining a hygiene routine with your clothes is important

Right now sanitisers are a precious commodity please use them wisely but remember soaps can also do the same work

Lastly, curfew-like situations can be tough, so find a creative way to spend time. Indulging in art, music etc can help.

She even urged people to cooperate with the government- including the police, the medical care professionals and the water, sewage and electricity departments. It’s very important to cooperate with government so that the virus can be contained
