In view of the festive season, the Indian Red Cross Society Nagaland (IRCSN) state branch has launched a campaign to help stop the spread of COVID-19 in the state.
In a press release, IRCSN programme coordinator, Merenyanger Jamir informed that as part of the campaign, face masks were distributed to various churches in Kohima including Jama Masjid Kohima.
Altogether, around 30 churches were covered.
The face mask distribution drive was carried out with an aim to create more awareness on the importance of the use of face masks during the season of social gathering “because of unpredictable nature of COVID-19”. IRCSN informed that distribution of masks campaign would be carried out in all the districts of Nagaland. It may be mentioned that the campaign was started with the sole purpose of sensitising the churches about the massive role they played in containing the spread of COVID-19 in the society. IRCSN urged the public to do its part to help stop the spread of COVID by using face masks and adhering to the appropriate behaviour.
