On the eve of Independence Day, President Ram Nath Kovind appealed to the people to follow appropriate Covid behaviour and get vaccinated as the coronavirus pandemic is not yet over.
While addressing the nation the President added that at present, the vaccine is the biggest protection that we have against this deadly virus. He said, “Our experience of the pandemic has taught that we still need to take precautions.”
President Kovind said while the intensity of the pandemic has come down, but the coronavirus has not yet gone away hence, “We are yet to come out of the devastating effects of its recurrence this year.”
“I appreciate the hard work done by our doctors, nurses, health workers and other Corona warriors. Their service helped the country to control the second wave of Covid-19,” he said.
President Ram Nath Kovind also appreciated the role of health workers during the pandemic and said the country can take support from the fact that more lives have been saved than the lives lost.
“It was our collective determination to overcome the challenge that helped us see the weakening of the second wave. Once again, our corona warriors, the doctors, nurses and health workers, the administrators, and others, risked everything to contain the impact of the second wave,” he said.
Emphasizing the importance of vaccination, President Kovind termed vaccines the “best possible protection science offers to us”. He urged all eligible citizens who are yet to get vaccinated to do so at the earliest and also inspire others.
“Under the world’s biggest vaccination campaign going on in our country, more than 50 crore fellow citizens have been vaccinated so far. I urge all eligible citizens who are yet to get vaccinated to do so at the earliest and also inspire others,” he said.
