SHILLONG: The State Cabinet met this evening to discuss measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the State. Addressing the media after the meeting, the Chief Minister urged the public not to panic and adopt measures particularly social distancing, maintain hand wash protocol and respiratory etiquette.

He informed that on March 21, Meghalaya will observe “Coronoavirus Awareness Day” (CAD) and people should not take it otherwise and term it a “lockdown” or “shutdown”.

“We appeal to the citizens of the State to observe the CAD tomorrow (March 21) basically to create awareness. So the idea is to leave everything aside for a day and focus and give our attention to what it is (COVID-19) and try to ensure that we educate our children, our family and our locality at large”, said the Chief Minister.

Earlier today, the Chief Minister participated in the video conference convened by the Prime Minister with all the CMs of the country on the preparedness of COVID-19.
