The novel COVID 19 pandemic has gripped the world disrupting normal life everywhere with those affected nearing 250,000 with deaths crossing the ten thousand mark.  India also now has 200 patients officially and the fight against the deadly virus is going to be a tough one that needs to draw all the strength of the human spirit.

Evergreen actress Trisha the UNICEF advocate for India has jumped into the fray in the fight against the coronavirus and has released an all-important video in which she reassures that it can be contained.  Trish has once again reminded the people that it is important to cover the face with tissue or cloth when coughing and then disposing it of in a closed waste paper box.  She has also advised that those who have fever, cold or difficulty breathing should stay away from others and if it is severe to contact the health centre or doctors nearby.  It is also imperative that such people wear a clinical mask or atleast a cloth around the nose and mouth.

The Tamil Nadu government 24/7 helpline numbers are 1) 944340496, 2) 044-29510500, 3) 87544 48477, 4) 044-2951 0400 and three digit number 104.
