Patna (Bihar): As India unites to fight Covid-19, Rakesh Chaudhary, a resident of Panta, distributed hand sanitizers to police and traffic personnel on "Janata Curfew" day. He said, "The entire country is fighting against Coronavirus. This is my way to fight it."
Not having an option to work from home, police personnel are, relatively, more vulnerable to Covid-19. WHO guidelines state that apart from intermittent handwashing with soap, alcohol-based hand sanitizer prove to be efficient to contain the spread of the deadly virus.
