During the initial days of covid-19, it was crucial to creating awareness among the general public about the covid-19 pandemic, how the coronavirus spreads and what precautions are needed to be taken. Therefore, we conducted multiple drives in Vizag to create awareness among the public.

Awareness
During the initial days of covid-19 in India, awareness about covid appropriate behaviour was low, increasing the number of infections.
The main motto of this project was to create awareness among the street vendors about the use of masks and face shields. Many of them didn't understand the importance of a face mask. When the street vendors speak with their customers, tiny aerosols from their mouths can be a significant reason for the spread of the disease. Also, while accepting currency notes, one can be infected.
Vizag Volunteers took on the initiative to educate and create awareness among the street vendors. Our volunteers visited multiple vending stalls in the city and provided them with masks and face shields; and we also explained to them how covid-19 spreads and what precautions they need to take to reduce the risk of infection. Unfortunately, some vendors didn't pay heed to our advice and got infected. This resulted in the closure and loss of business for 24 shops from Oxygen towers to Eenadu junction.
The digital team created posters, banners and multiple campaigns to create awareness about the covid-19 disease and what needs to be done to reduce its spread.
