IT is so unfortunate to see people assume that the easing of the lockdown by the government is the end of Covid-19. This is all despite it is clear that social distancing, wearing masks and hand hygiene are still necessary.

Being a doctor, I find it extremely upsetting to see crowds in malls, people out on streets, Eid festivities, etc., leading to shortage of beds at hospitals.

This is playing a huge role in soaring coronavirus cases.
