Since the last month or so, the spread of Corona virus has been rampant. While several countries have imposed lock down and taken stringent measures, there has been little to no success in eradicating it. Why? Because, a lot of it is dependent on each of us. Yes, for the spread of Corona virus to subside, it’s very important that we all follow certain protocols and be truly honest about it.
Google shows you the way
If you open Google’s homepage today, you’ll find a link below their search engine that says “Stay home this Sunday and DO THE FIVE”. If you click on it, you get to see the top 5 tips to follow that can help stop Corona virus. This is a general public health information from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, India.
I must admit, Google, being the world’s largest and trusted search engine, is doing a great job by spreading the awareness among Indians. With the Janata Curfew in Bangalore and rest of India being a successful one today, this message will surely add more value and awareness. So, thank you Google 🙂
