REPORT DATED: April 02, 2020

AS WE ALL KNOW THAT……

Today not only our country but also the entire world is facing this CORONAVIRUS
pandemic.
The coronavirus sweeping across the world is a pandemic, the World Health Organization
declared on 11 March 2020.

Although there is no cut-and-dry criteria for what reaches the level of pandemic and what
does not, and there is no threshold of cases or deaths that triggers the definition. According
to the WHO, "Pandemic is the worldwide spread of a new disease". This pandemic has
struck so hard to our country that entire India is under lockdown. Doctors, nurses, and all
other forces are working at their level best to save us from this Pandemic. And as a
responsible citizen we have to stay in our houses to stop the spread of this virus.

But staying home do not hold us back from performing our duties as NSS volunteers.

So, we all are performing our part in this critical situation by:

1. Spreading Awareness

2. Doing creative things during lockdown

 1. AWARENESS

• We, volunteers have from very first day started spreading awareness
regarding COVID-19 through our social media platforms.
• We have created our pages on FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM to spread
awareness related to COVID-19. In the meantime, we have also shared
various information frequently on our WhatsApp Groups.
• Our Programme Officer Dr. Vaibhav Sir has shared a video representing his
thoughts and appealing the public to stay at home and take proper
precautions for the same. He also told how to utilize one’s time wisely
during lockdown period.

COVID-19:
i. Precautions to be taken to protect oneself from coronavirus.
ii. To tackle with the problem of fake news related to COVID-19.

iv. How to utilize leisure/idle time during quarantine period.
v. The importance of social distancing.
