Social distancing: Circles, squares drawn outside Manwal Doon shop
28/03/2020
Manwal, Mar 27: Inspired by photos outside a mall in China where the management drew circles on the floor to maintain social distancing to curb coronavirus spread, people in parts of Manwal have started implementing the same. The idea is proving a healthy option for people who come out of their homes to purchase groceries and vegetables. Some towns such as Manwal, Thalora and a Doon Dansal District have started implementing the social distancing idea since Thursday Morning.
Dinesh kumar, a resident of Doon village near Manwal town said, When I saw the photos of the China all, I was at first amused and thought those people were being crazy. After some time, I realised that it is a useful idea as social distancing will be maintained as well as people will get groceries and other essential services. "I discussed it with friends and showed it to local shop owners, who after some deliberations decided to go for it. We used white colour to mark circles and/or squares on the road at a distance of over three feet between each marking. People were asked to stand as per the markings and soon they were also comfortable with it, he said.
