Ways Indians are practicing social distancing at stores

Check out how people are practicing social distancing at grocery stores:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement of 21 days lockdown triggered panic despite the Home Ministry’s assertion that there were adequate supplies of essential items. However, following PM Modi’s suggestion, people throughout the states were seen implementing social distancing while being in a queue at stores to purchase essential goods and the pictures of the same are going viral.

While addressing the nation, PM Modi focused on the importance of social distancing to break the chain of transmission of coronavirus. “Social distancing is the only option to stay safe and to stop the coronavirus — stay at a distance from each other and stay inside your houses,” he said.

At some places, people were seen standing in marked circles drawn with chalk at a distance to maintain social distancing at grocery stores. Veteran Congress leader Shashi Tharoor tweeted a picture of a shopkeeper using a PVC pipe to hand over products to the customers.

He wrote: “How to maintain physical distance between shopkeeper and customer while buying essential supplies — the Kerala way!”
