MUMBAI: SAB TV’s Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (Neela Telefilms) currently airs a track revolving around precautionary measures to be taken to fight against novel Coronavirus.
As we saw, the residents of Gokuldham Society are in a state of fear and paranoia about their family’s safety.
Gokuldham Society comes under the media’s radar of having a suspected Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) case. In the meantime, through a song, the characters of the show follow and reaffirm the precautionary measures as suggested by the Government making audiences aware about the virus and what precautions should be taken to reduce the chances of contracting it.
But, as things turned out the test results of the man come out negative after two days and Gokuldhaam’s residents heave a sigh of relief. Dr. Haathi goes on to advise everyone to maintain a positive approach, not to rely on just social media messages and avoid spreading rumors.
Without getting into the zone of comedy, the story goes on to educate everyone on basic hygiene like washing hands with soap and sanitizers before eating and covering one’s mouth while coughing or sneezing in public. Most importantly, it emphasizes the fact that there is no reason to panic whatsoever and that if everyone follows the hygiene practices and precautionary measures as advised by the health officials there is nothing to worry about. Gokuldhaamites pray and hope for the well-being of everyone.
