COVID-19: Ashwin ready to buy N95 masks for people who can’t afford it

New Delhi: With the second COVID-19 wave rampant in India, Team India spinner R Ashwin has urged people to get vaccinated as well as use double masks to fight the pandemic. In fact, he is also willing to help with the distribution of N95 masks for those who cannot afford it.
Taking to Twitter, Ashwin wrote: “I urge everyone going to get their vaccine shot to keep a safe distance from one another and double mask. (no cloth masks pls). The very point of getting a vaccine is to fight this deadly virus, let’s not make that hopeful idea into a cluster. #COVID19India.”
India s government says there are enough oxygen supplies but distribution has been hindered by transport problems.
A two-judge bench of the Delhi High Court has been holding almost daily video conferences to hear petitions from hospitals seeking oxygen and invoking India’s constitutional right to protection of life.
India s surge in infections has coincided with a dramatic drop in vaccinations due to supply and delivery problems.
At least three states, including Maharashtra, home to the commercial capital of Mumbai, have reported a scarcity of vaccines, shutting down some inoculation centres.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi s government has been widely criticised for not acting sooner to suppress the second wave of the virus. Religious festivals and political rallies have attracted tens of thousands of people in super spreader events.

Kolkata: Franchises and stakeholders of the Indian Premier League on Tuesday hailed the BCCI’s decision to suspend the tournament indefinitely, insisting that cricket can wait while the country fights an unprecedented COVID-19 crisis.
The BCCI was forced to suspend the lucrative T20 tournament indefinitely midway into the season after multiple cases of the dreaded virus were reported inside the bio-bubble.
“We’re all in this together. The safety and security of everyone in VIVO IPL 2021 is of paramount importance and we support the decision of BCCI to postpone the tournament,” Royal Challengers Bangalore said in a statement.
