Most the people complained of fever and were coughing. They stood in long serpentine queues inside the hospital building, flouting the norms of social distancing in the wake of coronavirus spread. "More than a thousand people gathered in the morning inside the hospital. The situation became very chaotic which is why we had to call the police. People were not adhering to the practice of social distancing," said Dr Sunil Kumar, SKMC Director.

The Prime Minister on his monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat' also laid emphasis on social distancing. He said that this practice is the most effective way of fighting against COVID-19 and by complying with the lockdown, people are not only protecting themselves from the deadly infection but also the others.
