Kathmandu, Nov. 7
A civil campaign against COVID-19 is launched in Lalitpur on Saturday.
National Business Initiative (NBI) has launched the campaign in collaboration
with Nepal Public Health Association, Nepal Medical Association and People’s
Health Movement to motivate people to adhere to the health and safety protocol
to prevent the coronavirus contagion.
Inaugurating the programme at Labim Mall in Pulchowk, Deputy Mayor of
Lalitpur Metropolis Gita Satyal appreciated the role of private sector and civil
society in raising awareness about safety in the pandemic.
She said that the government was sensitive in fulfilling its duty and
would move ahead in cooperation with the private sector and civil society.
Chairman of NBI Kush Kumar Joshi said that the programme was launched as
there was a need of active participation of the civil society in raising
awareness about the virus in order to check its contagion.
“Since it is a long-term challenge for any society, we should move ahead
with better safety protocol,” he said.
District Public Health Office Lalitpur’s Chief Dr. Khageshwor Gelal
emphasised on full adherence to the health protocols and effective implementation
of safety measures to safely run business and social activities.
