In Tamil Nadu, Worry Over Social Distancing At Crowded Ration Shops | Read

Ration shops across Tamil Nadu are now running the risk of turning into coronavirus super-spreaders with large number of people who gather in queues violating physical distancing. At a government run shop off Lloyds Road in Chennai, at least a few hundred people queue up without physical distancing for a few hours every day to buy essential commodities including rice, dal, sugar, wheat and oil. Exempted under the intense lockdown, these shops remain open only till 12 PM every day.
