"COVID-19 Cannot Be Controlled Until...": What Home Minister Amit Shah Said

"Until the masses become aware and follow coronavirus guidelines issued by the state government, we will not be able to control its spread. Everybody will have to work together to defeat it. Those whose second dose is due must get it at the earliest," Amit Shah said.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah today said the coronavirus pandemic cannot be controlled until the masses become aware and follow the guidelines issued by the government.

He also appealed to those in the 15-18 age group to get themselves vaccinated at the earliest when their turn begins from January 3.

Addressing a gathering through video conferencing after dedicating and laying foundation stones for various developmental works worth around Rs 50 crore in his Lok Sabha constituency of Gandhinagar, Amit Shah also asked the administration to remain alert about the rising cases of coronavirus.

"Coronavirus is once again rising after changing form. This time, all of us, be it municipal corporations, municipalities, district panchayats or state governments, will have to remain alert," the Union Home Minister said.
