 My name is Dr. Thomas Kishan. I am a Spine and Scoliosis Surgeon at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. There has been a small increase in the number of COVID patients over the last week or so and this may be the beginning of the second wave. We must remember that COVID is spread predominantly through respiratory droplets and hence it is very very important that we maintain and practice the three important precautions. Number one is masking, wearing a mask all the time when you are outside your own house. Number two is maintaining social distance when you are outside in the community and number three is hand sanitization and hand washing. Please take care and prevent a spread of COVID. Thank you.
