World is in the middle of COVID-19 pandemic. COVID- 19 was declared as a pandemic by WHO on 11, March 2020.1 Globally 108 million cases have been reported worldwide, claiming the deaths of 2.32 million globally.2 The need for wearing masks, frequent hand washing and social distancing cannot be emphasized more since the surge of this pandemic. Now wearing mask and adopting the social distancing are more of a routine. But these measures are certainly not enough to control the pandemic. Efforts more than this are required.
