Gwalior, July 6: In India, people seem to be more worried about following the rules to avoid paying fines than they care about their health by own. Focusing the fact, the city of Gwalior on Monday has come up with a unique idea to make people follow the rule. Citizens found without mask or not following the COVID-19 prevention guidelines at public places in Gwalior will have to work as volunteers in hospitals and police check-posts for three days, an official said on Monday.

Fines would also be imposed on those violating the COVID-19 protocols. An order of this effect was issued by the district administration in Madhya Pradesh on Sunday after Collector Kaushlendra Vikram Singh held a meeting with officials concerned on the ongoing 'Kill Corona' campaign, he said.
 
The order said those found without mask or not following the coronavirus guidelines at public places will not only have to pay a fine, but they would also have to work as volunteers for three days in hospitals and fever clinics treating COVID-19 patients and at the police check-posts.
 
The collector said in the meeting that those coming from Indore, Bhopal and other states should be strictly screened at the district's borders, the official said. The Madhya Pradesh government has undertaken the 'Kill Corona' campaign across the state for a door-to-door survey to identify COVID-19 patients. On Sunday, Gwalior reported 51 COVID-19 cases, taking the district's tally to 528.
