Campaign “Navigating the New Normal” has been developed under the guidance of Empowered Group 6 constituted by the Government of India. The campaign comprises of 2 parts: first is a web portal and the second is a media campaign. The web portal seeks to increase public participation and encourages people to practise Covid-safe behaviours. It emphasizes on easy implementation of four key behaviours in the unlock phase:
1. mask-wearing
2. social distancing
3. hand hygiene
4. not spitting in public
While the second part, i.e. the media campaign focuses on the wearing of masks as it is a simple measure which has made a big difference in the fight against COVID-19.
