Asked if some who had recovered from coronavirus would need to self-isolate, Mr Hancock said: "Yes, including me. "I tested positive, I recovered, and I have had one of these antibody tests, I know I have the antibodies. "But what we do not yet conclusively know, and this is a million dollar question, is if you have antibodies, does that mean you are both immune to getting the disease yourself again? "And, critically, does it mean you can't pass the disease on to other people?…

I appreciate SC's uo Moto Move

Dear Editor,It is good dicision that looking at the unfortunate and miserable conditions of migrant labourers walking on-foot and cycles from long ditances, a three-judge Bench of the Supreme Court took note of "problems and miseries" of labourers stranded by the coronavirus lockdown. Taking up the case, addressing to the Centre and the states the top court ordered to immediately provide transport, food and shelter free of cost to the stranded migrant workers. Because of their complaining of not being provided food and water by administration at places where they were stranded, they have been asked to report to it on "steps taken to redeem the miseries" of migrant labourers within 48 hours or by Thursday. I appriciate the Supreme Court that in this difficult situation of lockdown, this is carried weight dicision for the stranded mirgant workers. Also I am quite certain that migrants are on top of the world, and all ears such action.--Abu Khuzaima UP

SC's order about stranded migrants workers is a good step

Dear Editor,. It is noticeable to say that a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court on May 26 said there have been "Inadequacies and certain lapses" on the part of the Central and State governments in dealing with the migrant workers crisis during the lockdown. Newspaper reports and other media reports have been continuously showing the unfortunate and miserable conditions of migrant workers walking on the foot and cycling for the long distance", the Court stated. Adding "Effective concentrated efforts were required to redeem the situation". So I suppose that, although, SC's this step is late, but is better, because lakhs of people are forced on the roads and footpaths to walk on the foot, no one is ready to help them except some people. Really, it was time to help them, but it shouldn't happen, on which, many of them have died because of starvation, long distance and accidents. Now the govt must stand to help them. --Jauhar Mumbai
