Battle Against Corona Virus - Modus operandi of humankind a cutlass as well as armour to combat the covid pandemic (artists: Gargee Mishra, Ashoka Mahapatra, Kavita Gupta, Monalisa Dey, Alakananda Mohapatra)
Media used was Hichrome UTI Agar in which various organisms like Escherichia coli (pink), Providencia (green), Enterococcus faecalis (bluish mucoid), Klebsiella pneumoniae (bluish green) Chrysobacteriom indoligenes (yellow), Candida albicans (white) give various colours upon growth. I specifically utilised this property to display the art on the agar plate. Here the upper part of the petri plate shows virulent Corona virus which are equipped to invade and infect a new healthy host. However with the use of various covid appropriate practices on part of an individual like use of mask,social distancing and vaccination with any one type of vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna, covishield, covaxin etc) one can defend against infection efficiently. Besides this hand washing with soap and the use of alcohol based sanitiser one can effectively neutralise the virus thereby protecting oneself. Hence implementation of these simple yet very effective techniques routinely will help us in our fight against this pandemic. I have tried to emphasise the significance of trees and plantation for our well-being. The oxygen produced by trees is essential for life and survival.
