Dry food provision and hygiene kits to 2000 needy families during the emergency of COVID-19

Corona virus is transmitted through direct contact with respiratory droplets of an infected person(Generated through coughing and sneezing) and touching our faces contaminated with virus. The COVID-19 virus may survive on surfaces for several hours, but simple disinfectants can kill it.

As the novel corona virus spreads, more people may be put under home quarantine. As the corona virus pandemic escalates, Governments across the world putting their people in lock down or preparing to do so. In India, most of the local Governments have declared an emergency and shutdown schools, shops, and all public gatherings. As a measure of social distancing and to contain the spread of the virus, many states have announced lock down in India till 31st May 2020. This could continue until the proper vaccine has been developed.

Under the prevailing circumstances the daily or contract wage earners are the worst hit because they are dependent on their daily earnings to meet the basic needs.

One of the most effective ways we have to protect ourselves and others from illness is good personnel hygiene. Good personal hygiene is important for both health and social reasons. It entails keeping your hands, head and body clean so as to stop the spread of germs and illness. Our personal hygiene benefits our health and impacts the lives of those around us too. Keeping in view of affect of the pathetic corona virus, all we should follow strictly personal hygiene promptly.

In part of anti-corona virus measures, CERDS would like to assure basic food security ( a food supplies kit contains rice, red-gram dall, wheat flour, finger millet flour, jaggery, cooking oil, vegetables etc.,) and hygiene kit (liquid hand wash, hand wash soaps, masks) to the all target needy families, who lost their wages during this emergency period. 

This support helps families to get great relief and to take breath during the emergency. And also helps them to stay safely at home and prevention of virus transmission to others / communities.
