People are being cheated by the medical stores in the name of corona virus protection by selling corona shut out/get out cards from Rs100 to 180. Sellers claim that wearing this card for 30 days around a neck will prevent corona. However, this card is neither recognized nor certified by the Health Department and the drug department.
This card is filled with smell emitting sugar size stones. Surprisingly, sellers did not know the name of its company as everything is written in the Chinese language on it and is being sold all over except Delhi. Even the drug department is unaware of this scam hence not taken any action against a single medical store till date.
Drug inspector Hemendra Chaudhary appealed to people not to fall into superstition by buying this card. According to him, raids at medical shops will be started from Monday and strict action will be taken against sellers of these cards.
Dr. Natasha Chaudhary, CMO, Central Government Health Scheme, Aligarh said that the corona virus will not eradicate by this card. A vaccine is the only solution. This virus is spreading by touching and through the air. People should wash their hands frequently, use a face mask, and maintain social distancing to avoid spreading this virus. Do not fall into any kind of superstition.
According to Shalendra Singh Tillu, District President of Aligarh Chemist and Drug Association, Corona does not eradicate from anything like Corona Get out card. It is not recognized by the Department of Health. Medical stores are requested not to sell these things, which creates confusion among people.
