Busting myths surrounding COVID-19, doctors P.S. Shankar, Vikram Siddreddy and S.S. Gubbi have urged people not to panic but to take necessary precautions such as wearing face masks, maintaining social distancing and frequently washing hands to prevent the spread of the pandemic.
In an interaction with media representatives here on Monday, they strongly advised people to get admitted to hospitals only when they develop symptoms and not just because they tested positive for the pandemic.
“Media, especially electronic media, is creating panic among the people. Instead, they should infuse confidence among the people by inculcating awareness with scientific information. If you strictly follow the three mantras wearing masks, maintaining social distancing and frequently washing hands, you can check the spread of COVID-19,” Dr. Shankar said.

“Families were angry. Many of the deaths were preventable, they were the result of medical neglect, targeting of Aboriginal people, over policing and excessive force,” she says.
“We called for a royal commission to demand justice for the families.”
Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in custody campaigner Cathy Eatock said not enough had changed in 30 years.
