"Look At Euro 2020": Government's Warning On Crowds During Pandemic
NDTV
In recent days, photos have emerged on social media showing thousands of people out on a small street at Manali and hundreds gathered under a waterfall in Mussoorie
The government has (yet again) warned people against laxity in following Covid-appropriate behaviour, with particular reference to disquieting visuals that have emerged over the past few days of large crowds at popular holiday and tourist destinations. The Health Ministry described these videos - which show hundreds lounging about in markets and open spaces in hill stations like Himachal Pradesh's Manali - as "cause for concern", and reminded people the novel coronavirus spreads more aggressively in crowded places. To drive home its point the government also referred to the spike in COVID-19 cases in the United Kingdom, where 60,000 were allowed in London's Wembley Stadium for the semi finals of the 2020 European football championship, and another 60,000 are expected for Sunday's final. England is facing a new wave of Covid cases, fuelled by a combination of highly contagious variants and (an ill advised, some experts say) emergence from lockdown. This week the UK, which is likely to lift restrictions from July 19, saw over 30,000 daily new cases for the first time since January.
