Debasish Ghosh – Corona virus Action towards Prevention
After the COVID-19 declared as an pandemic, and because of the extreme rise of cases in India, people from all walks of life became concerned about their health. The Government of India also advised the citizens to take precautionary measures to curb the spread of this virus.
The Government recently locked-down most of the states to prevent the spread of this disease. I photographed a series of portraits of people wearing masks while they go about with their daily activities as well as the city of Bangalore, India, in its lockdown phase.
