GAIBANDHA, Dec 30, 2020 (BSS) – As panic gripped among the commoners in the emergence of coronavirus pandemic, people were desperately looking for masks to keep themselves safe from the invisible enemy.
But, that time, collecting masks for them to use to avoid coronavirus infection was a hard task as there was a scarcity of mask across the country.
Managing masks for the ethnic Santal minority was a huge challenging task too due to their limited access to healthcare facilities and resources.
“When we first heard about the disease (COVID-19), we got panicked, thinking of how we remain safe from coronavirus,” said Santal women Monika Henrom, a mother of two.
