In the wake of increasing cases of coronavirus in Surkhet, the District Administration Office has kicked off the campaign, 'Where is your mask?'.
The people here are requested to wear masks- an essential safety measure to avoid spread of deadly coronavirus.
The campaign was also attended by representatives of Public Health Office, District Police Office, Surkhet Chamber of Commerce and industry, and transport enterprises. Chief District Officer Chhabilal Rijal informed that the campaign was aimed at inspiring all to use mask, targeting capital of Karnali Province, Birendranagar.
The campaign had to be launched after people became reckless despite severe health threats.
Similarly, if anyone is found without mask, he/she is fined Rs 100.
Senior public health officer Chetnidhi Wagle said if all people maintain strict health and safety measures, lockdown is not needed.
