Nag Ashwin proposes voluntary lockdown to give doctors ‘relief’

‘Mahanati’ director Nag Ashwin has a solution to the ever-growing pressure on the healthcare system. On Thursday, taking to Twitter, the star director opined that it’s time for us to lock ourselves up at home. Having been witness to how stretched healthcare and manpower resources are, the ‘Yevade Subrahmanyam’ director has made the fervent appeal. 

“Whether the government declares it or not…next 2 weeks should be a personal lockdown…For those of you who say lockdown is not the answer, pls go see the hospitals and how overworked they have been the past month..While we mass vaccinate, we must give the doctors some relief,” he wrote on Twitter.

This comes hours after a top health official of Telangana ruled out the imposition of a lockdown in the State. 

A lot of doctors, nurses and paramedics are too tired, going by media reports.
