New Delhi: In a bid to encourage common people to spread awareness about COVID-19 measures, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani has launched a week-long campaign called “Hu Pan Corona Warrior” (‘I too, am a corona warrior’).

The week-long campaign will sensitize people about the need for protection against the ‘killer’ virus. Rupani launched the campaign through video conference in Gandhinagar, with various noted personalities joining the even on Thursday.

As part of the campaign, spiritual leader and Ram Katha orator Morari Bapu adressed the people on Thursday on how to live with the pandemic.

During the launch, Rupani said that people need to develop the habit of living with coronavirus while simultaneously waging a battle against it.

“Bringing back normalcy amid lockdown is also crucial in the present situation,” he said.

Rupani-led Gujarat leads from the front

It is pertinent to note that Gujarat has been spearheading the fight against Coronavirus. As compared to other states, its performance is much better.

Gujarat has highest patient discharge rate in the country. Moreover, it is the state which has sent maximum number of migrants workers to their native place. Even Maharashtra comes at a distant second, which has sent maximum migrants back home.

Week-long activity to firm up fight against Covid-19

As part of the campaign, influential persons, writers and artists would address people everyday through Facebook Live to motivate as well as educate people about the pandemic and ways to stay safe as part.

Rupani urged citizens to take selfies with grandparents and post them on social media platforms with hashtag ”HuPanCoronaWarrior” on May 22.

On May 24, people can click photos wearing masks and post them using the same hashtag, the release said.

On May 26, people will be encouraged to download Aarogya Setu app on their mobile phones, it added.
