COVID-19 and emergency services

Through your esteemed daily, I would like to highlight the fact that emergency services like hospitals, banks, etc, are serving selflessly amidst the COVID-19 outbreak. They are putting their best effort to let the country sleep peacefully. But in the present alarming situation, where cases are rising at a rapid pace, I feel that apart from hospitals, other institutions must be closed because there is a high chance of people getting infected. Hospitals are an inevitable part and in this situation, they need to operate amidst emergency situation but with due care. Preventive measures must be taken by the doctors, nurses and other staff working in a hospital. The other services must be shut down immediately without any further delay. This will protect them from any kind of risk.
