    Need a serious lockdown for minimum 15 days and schools and offices should be closed for a month. Goverment have to focus on vaccination awareness and drives. That's how we can control the seviour damage. Goverment should wake up and take serious decisions. Money comes and goes. We get life only ones. If we have a health we have time to earn more.
