Cases are low and the vaccine is here but so is Covid-19, says Mohit

Last week, Mohit Malik tested positive for Covid-19 after he returned from his birthday celebration in Alibaug. The actor announced on Instagram about being positive and said that he was relieved his pregnant wife, Addite Malik, tested negative. He shares, “Since the past three days, the fever is frequent as is body ache. Though I am getting better every day, it’s still a long way to go. During the day, sometimes, I feel okay and sometimes, I feel horribly unwell. It is a relief that Addite tested negative. I think people are taking it lightly. Logon ko lag raha hai ke vaccine aa gaya hai, and Covid-19 chala gaya. But that is not true. We should not get lax and must maintain the same level of precautions, hygiene and sanitisation that we did earlier.” The Kulfi Kumar Bajewala actor began experiencing symptoms two days after his return from Alibaug and got tested. All his friends, who accompanied them, tested negative, except the actor. He has isolated himself in one room while his wife is in another room. “I was not lenient at all and took all the precautions but I don’t know where it came from. I want to tell people not to take Covid-19 lightly. Please wear a mask, maintain social distance and sanitise. It is important for the next few months,” says the actor revealing that he recently lost a close friend to the virus. He adds, “We all have to take care as this virus is still as contagious. The government is doing a good job of handling the pandemic but it also comes down to every individual and it is our responsibility to be alert. There are so many people who don’t believe that coronavirus is real and feel it is a scam or they won’t get it. We should all follow the advice of authorities for our own safety.” Kavita Awaasthi
