Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Tuesday said coronavirus was a major disaster which would lead to a serious economic slowdown.
“The situation is already bad and if it spreads further, then things will worsen,” he said, warning of a severe slowdown in the post Covid-19 environment. Underlining the need to be fully prepared and to take all possible precautions, the CM said while old habits, such as shaking hands, die hard, there was a need to change.
He said the state government was taking all steps to combat the problem but people have to realise the dangers and take self-precautions, making an appeal for strict adherence to the guidelines issued by the Government of India and the World Health Organisation (WHO).
