All the association members emphasized that sanitisation is on their priority list.
“We have asked people to get themselves checked immediately if their body is showing symptoms of Covid-19. Staffers have been asked to monitor people and inform association members in case they come across people with symptoms . Restrictions on public movement has been imposed, “ said Sunil Jain, general secretary of Whisper Valley.
