The ongoing pandemic and the national lockdown of the past few months has created an unprecedented social and economic situation in the country, which has affected all of us in myriad ways. People have lost jobs, and businesses have suffered huge losses. Families have been closeted inside homes for a long period of time. Lack of household help has further added to mental and physical stress. Now, as the lockdown is slowly being lifted, the number of COVID19 positive cases is increasing. As we struggle to get back to our normal routines and schedules, we are faced with a lot of anxieties and fears.

What if I or someone in my family catches the disease?
what to do if my neighbour tests positive?
How do I answer the questions raised by my kids?
How to take care of the elderly in the family and so on?

With the aim of addressing some of these queries, IIT Delhi is organizing a campus sensitization drive on the topic of “Life in the times of Covid19”. The first webinar in this series is being organized on the 22^nd of May from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM. The speaker is Dr. Rajesh Sagar, a Senior Psychiatrist from AIIMS, New Delhi who will talk about “ Jeevan shaili : Lockdown ke baad”. The webinar will be in Hindi and is open to all staff members of the institute.

The specialist will take a few questions after the talk. You may also send your questions in advance to mohit[dot]gupta[at]admin[dot]iitd[dot]ac[dot]in. The same will be kept anonymous and will be taken up by the specialist one by one.
