As Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for a nationwide shutdown in view of the coronavirus pandemic, everything except for essential services will remain closed in the tough times that lie ahead.

However the call for a nationwide shutdown at 8 pm yesterday, created panic among people, as they thronged the grocery shops to stock up on groceries. Therefore, in order to promote social distancing, grocery shops have chalked out spots so that customers are at a 6 feet distance from each other.

Such kind of social distancing measures are being taken at fruit shops, pharmacies as well, so that customers are at a considerable distance apart while buying commodities required for their day to day needs.

Vijayawada vegetable market, Andhra Pradesh, is trying to promote social distancing. The customers are standing in their designated spots to take their required rations.
