He said following the three rules is a major defence against the virus. The government has all along been urging people to follow these measures to prevent the spread of the virus. Posters, banners and stickers would come up at public places and on metros, auto rickshaws and other public transports to spread the message, he said.
Social media would also be used as part of the campaign, he said. He said the precautions are all the more important as winter season would soon set in.
