PASIGHAT, Jun 7: With the arrival of Covid-19 cases in Arunachal Pradesh, three prominent NGOs of Pasighat and East Siang appealed society not to stigmatise and ostracize individuals, families over Covid-19. Covid-19 has affected all countries of the world and all states of India.
The virus is highly contagious but manageable with very low mortality rate. Covid-19 is here to stay with us till a vaccine is developed and societies have to learn to live with it. Instead of ostracization or stigma, we should take precautions to avoid spread of the disease by maintaining social distancing, wearing masks etc, they said. DIPRO
