Mysore/Mysuru: In the wake of rise in Covid-19 cases, Taluk Health Officer Dr. Mahadev Prasad advocated that ‘Prevention is better than cure’.

Addressing the gathering during an awareness and oath taking programme at Jan Shikshan Sansthan office premises, organised by the JSS Jan Shikshan Sansthan in association with Department Health and Family Welfare,  Dr.Prasad said “Instead of getting infected and struggling to recover in case of any worse situation at ICU, it is better advised to take precautionary measures”.

Dr. Prasad reiterated that “All should follow safety measures like wearing mask, maintaining social distance, wash hands with soap to sanitise themselves frequently. By doing so, people should pay tribute to those Corona Warriors like Doctors, Nurses, Pourakarmikas and also Police who have lost their lives in the line of duty”.
