The WHO and ICMR have declared that vaccination is our best bet to reduce the fatalities due to Covid infection. Many experts have also warned, time and again, that vaccinated people can still be infected with Covid and spread it to others. In this situation, we should have seen people taking the safety precautions at all times especially since Delta, the most dangerous variant, is already in India. But if we see the behaviour of tourists on the beaches of Goa it seems that all that they care for is “khavo, piyo aur maja karo” and the rest be damned.
Some think Covid or no Covid, Goa is one destination where you can have free fun at all times without any restrictions. The Covid situation in Goa today is not as bad as it was two months ago. Still, we would not like to see Goa returning to that bad state again. The authorities should therefore ensure that the tourists also fall in line and take safety precautions as the locals do.
