Dr. Zakar, who is a renowned behavioral scientist, told that the spread of this deadly disease could only be curtailed by altering human behaviors. He urged the UO students and staff specifically and the public at large generally to strictly observe social distancing and take great care of hygiene by frequently washing hands. He also stressed the need of avoiding hospital visits for minor illness as it could trigger the spread of the ailment.
He furthered viewed, “The time we are spending at our homes is the time of self-actualization. We should meditate on our lives and behaviors and try to bring positive and productive change in them. By adopting healthy behaviors, we can overcome the Coronal Virus and return to normal life.”
