Malik has also urged Goans to come out to their balconies or doorsteps and clap for the medical fraternity and others who are working tirelessly to fight “COVID-19”, as mark of respect and gratitude on that day at 5 pm.
The Governor also requested the elderly to remain indoors as far as possible and keep themselves safe.
The Governor has urged all the branches of government, autonomous bodies, NCC and NGOs to work hand-in-hand to fight the ‘COVID-19’.
“The Prime Minister has clearly underlined the gravity of the threat and has rightly said that to presume that we will not be affected by this disease, would not be a right attitude. The Prime Minister has appealed to the citizens to show resolve and exercise restraint for next few weeks, as the citizens have a pivotal role in combating the disease,” Malik added.
He has urged the citizens of Goa to be alert and not to lower guards vis-â-vis ‘COVID — 19’.
