After a high-level meeting with Union Health Minister amid spike in Covid cases in China, a government official on Wednesday advised people to wear a mask in crowded places.
"Use a mask if you are in a crowded space, indoors or outdoors. This is all the more important for people with comorbidities or are of higher age," Dr V K Paul, Member-Health, NITI Aayog told reporters after Mansukh Mandaviya's meeting on Covid.
"Only 27-28% of people have taken precaution dose. We appeal to others, especially senior citizens, to take precaution dose. Precaution dose is mandated for everyone," said Paul as China's massive wave of Covid infections begins its march across the country.
