BHOPAL: With the masks coming off the faces of people from all sections of society — politicians, bureaucrats, traders, teachers, students, workers and even doctors — and other Covid precautions also thrown to the wind, the forthcoming elections to the local bodies and opening of schools later this month may turn out to be just the opportune time for Coronavirus to strike back, feel some experts.
They further point out that out of 1262 persons tested for Covid-19 in the first week of June, 36 were found positive, which is not much but still constitutes positivity rate of 3% in Bhopal and therefore taking eyes off the pandemic and shunning the Covid protocol would not be appropriate.
