Situation in rural areas alarming

Lack of awareness about Covid-19 among people in rural areas is becoming a major problem. Despite increasing number of infections, people in villages are not taking it seriously. This is resulting in a higher number of deaths in rural areas than in urban pockets. Most people do not wear masks and even do not care about social distancing. Also, rural areas lack health facilities. We cannot afford such attitude amid the pandemic.
