It is good that tough action is being taken on violators, even if ignorant, and we want to see the same discipline here in different aspects of our life. With the festival season coming up, we are bound to see gatherings even with repeated warnings, an uptick in shopping at markets and a general tendency to get just slightly laxer when it comes to social distancing or no meeting in groups rules.

Let us leave rules aside. In our minds, and the way we conduct ourselves, let us show that we will not be violators of non-Covid rules. Let us become non-negotiable with ourselves, practising absolute adherence so that there is no need for any external agency to do so for us.

Finally, if this does not happen, we want to see no fears or favour when it comes to Covid rules. We need to get ready to mete out punishments to violators in a fair, and no-excuses-accepted manner. It is not just athletes and stirring performances that should inspire us, but Japan’s absolute respect for rules.
