We all are aware of the fact that people all over the world are stocking up on daily essentials. Supermarkets have run out of toilet papers, hand sanitizers and face masks during the coronavirus scare. To make matters worse, local ‘mafias’ have increased prices on these essential items, sometimes by as much as nearly tenfold!
Television actress Shagufta Ejaz addressed this same issue in her recent Instagram post. The actor asked the public to take the precautionary measures instead of panicking or being over confident.
“The Corona virus has caused so much unnecessary panic all around the world. People have bought all necessary resources in bulk causing a shortage of sanitizers, masks, thermometers, anti bacterials all over the country. Everyone is uninformed about the disease itself and no one is willing to give up unnecessarily leaving their homes. Your health and safety comes first, the restaurants and movie theatres and malls will still be here when everything settles down.”

We Must Act Responsibly
Health and safety should be our top priority in this time of crisis and Shagufta asked everyone to perform their duty; i.e. ‘to keep yourself and your family safe.’
“Just because you’re young and strong doesn’t mean you can’t extract the virus and pass it on to someone with a weakened immune system in your home. Don’t risk your loved ones health by being overconfident,” she referred to the careless behavior of our young generation who think that this lockdown is a holiday.
Shagufta Ejaz again hinted on the important measures that we can take as an individual including maintaining social distance, get checked if you have any symptoms, wash hands, etc.
“Please pray that Allah helps us and everyone around us through this difficult time and puts an end to all this very soon. Ameen!”
