My article is regarding the importance of sanitizers during this COVID-19 pandemic and how people here in Nagaland are careless in terms of their own hygiene.
According to my observation, many people do not care even a little to sanitize their hands or even themselves after doing or touching something. They do not care at all! In fact, even the little precautions that they’re taking, like wearing masks, is because of fear, not of the virus but of the POLICE. But I do not mean it in general, but a good majority. And if they are to read this journal, It will be an accomplishment if they read the writing below.
