At this time, community spread of the virus was extremely minimal, because the public fulfilled their responsibility by adhering to safety guidelines. The worst part is, a vaccinated, careless person can spread the virus very easily, while it is the unvaccinated who will have to suffer severe complications. It is good to get vaccinated and have confidence that you are protected against the virus to a great extent. Even though the public should ideally be more careful and aware about the situation now than before, the vaccinations programme’s expansion seems to have brought about fresh complacency regarding public safety. However, the public also has a responsibility, and it is up to the Government to raise awareness among the public about their responsibility.
