Strict actions against Covid19 negligence: Dr K Sudhakar

– *Regulations on Covid19 for public to be out soon after discussion with CM*
– *Covid19 workshop for media persons within a week*

Bengaluru, 29 September:
Hon’ble Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar has warned stern actions against people who flout social distancing rules in public places.

He was speaking to media persons after conducting a meeting with expert committee regarding Covid19 at Vidhana Soudha on Tuesday.

‘Detailed directive out soon’
Coronavirus has been on a high in the past two months in the state, said the Minister. Despite raising awareness regarding the dangers caused by the virus, the general public has been negligent without wearing masks. To combat this, the minister said, the State Government is keen on bringing stern rule against those who flout the social distancing rules in public. A detailed directive will be out in a few days, he added.

Post Coronavirus unlock in the state, political and religious gatherings have been on a high, and people are attending in alarming numbers. This has led to rapid spread of virus. Hence, it has been decided to put the stopper on these gatherings in the state, he explained. The Minister further said that events that are held in unavoidable circumstances with only 100 people will be allowed with prior permission from the district administration.

He informed that the Government plans to organise awareness programmes jointly in cooperation with cinema stars, religious heads, political leaders and artists. The Minister also called upon people of the state to raise awareness about Coronavirus.

‘Workshop for media persons’
Stating that the role of media in raising awareness about Coronavirus is notable, the Minister said that the Government is mulling over organising a special workshop for media persons. The workshop will be organised within a week, he said.

Noting that Covid-19 positive rate in 7 out of 11 districts is 12%, Dr Sudhakar said the death rate in the state is at 1.5%. Measures are being taken to reduce this to less than 1%, he added.

‘Wear mask’
The Minister appealed to the public to wear masks and stressed on the importance of wearing protective gears to avoid spreading the virus. While the entire world is amid the battle against fighting Coronavirus, it is important to use our weapons such as masks, he requested the people of the state. Without taking necessary measures to stay safe it is impossible to contain Covid19 amongst us, he added.

SBI Life unveils a comprehensive Financial Immunity survey, providing valuable insights into consumer predispositions in a post covid world

Key findings: 

~  8 in 10 Indians (78%) strongly feel that stress / anxiety affects mental & physical immunity

~  Over 50% Indians not sufficiently prepared to face financial emergency related to lifestyle diseases

~  Top 3 financial worries:

o  Financial security against critical illnesses

o  Family member getting infected by any lifestyle disease or Covid-19

o  Job or income loss

~  8 in 10 Indians (80%) associate Life Insurance with ‘Safeguarding the family’s future’

~  More than 6 in 10 Indians (61%) have bought or intend to buy critical illness plan/ cover to address the rising treatment costs and to avoid financial pressure on the family

~  7 in 10 Indians (75%) not having a critical illness cover, intend to buy one in the next three months

Mumbai, September 29, 2020: SBI Life Insurance, one of most trusted private life insurers in the country unveiled a comprehensive consumer survey, providing deep insights into consumer predispositions towards Financial Immunity in a post covid world. SBI Life commissioned the Understanding consumer attitude towards Financial Immunity survey with The Nielsen Company, reaching out to over 2,400 consumers across 13 key cities covering the length and breadth of India. 

Understandably, in the wake of COVID-19, maintaining personal physical immunity has been on the fore, with almost every respondent confirming to have increased focus on physical immunity in some way. In fact, 8 out of 10 Indians are aware that ‘stress’ lowers mental and physical immunity.  

The survey further attempts to better understand the cause of stress, by enquiring about the top financial worries of the consumer today. The top three reasons for stress are attributed to (1) Financial Security against critical illness, (2) Family member getting infected by any lifestyle disease or Covid-19 and (3) Job or income loss. The reasons for financial worries cited by consumers underpin the stress caused by financial management of lifestyle diseases. Alarmingly, over 50% Indians are not sufficiently prepared to face any financial emergencies related to lifestyle diseases.

On the brighter side, the pandemic has brought in a realization on the need for protection, with 7 out of 10 Indians who currently do not own a Critical Illness cover, explicitly expressing an intention to buy one in the next three months. Another encouraging insight thrown up by the survey, is that 8 out of 10 consumers purchase Life and Health insurance with a clear motive of safeguarding family’s future.

Speaking about the survey findings, Mr. M Anand, President – Zone II, SBI Life said, “Over the last six months, individuals and families across the length and breadth of our nation, have shown tremendous resilience in coping with the pandemic. Despite the challenging environment, SBI Life’s consumer study on ‘Financial Immunity’ highlights the reassuring sentiment on the need to build a robust Financial Immunity to safeguarded one’s future and be protected from financial adversities.” He further added, “At SBI Life, we strongly believe that gaining financial immunity rests at the foundation of achieving one’s life objectives.”
