More often than not, security workers become helpless while trying to uphold order. This helplessness is more common in areas where public gathering takes place and the common people to security worker ratio is nowhere being balanced. In this testing time health security cannot be maintained nor can the sheer size of crowds be convinced to follow health protocols.
Such is the case with tourist spots. As per a report published in this daily, physical distancing and wearing proper mask is largely ignored at most tourist spots and entertainment places like the zoos, safari parks and other places where crowds are seen, like shopping malls, grocery shops and even on public transports. If such is the case then the risk of a second wave of Covid-19 infection hitting the country is not very unlikely.

However, the report also sheds light on the fact that the tourist spots were opened in the first place to reduce the stress of people being stuck at home, mainly students who haven’t had the chance to go out since the outbreak in the country.
Facing such disarray in healthcare system means that there is a big possibility of a second wave of Covid-19 infection in the country which might resemble proportions similar to the worst times since the pandemic began in the country.
Authorities concerned should be stringent in enforcement of the rules and regulations that have been in place for public safety. Not only so, proper punitive actions must be carried out this time around.
