#BeattheVirus is Isha's on-ground campaign to prevent the pandemic from entering the villages of Thondamuthur block which has over 2 lakh residents.

A taskforce of nearly 700 Isha volunteers delivers cooked meals prepared in decentralized kitchens along with Nilavembu Kashayam, an immunity booster drink to the villages.

The foundation has also set up a standby isolation ward in the Pooluvapatti Primary Health Center (PHC).

"Though the government and the administrations are doing much to reach out to the poorest of the poor in society, still many shall fall through the cracks. It is the responsibility of every citizen to ensure nobody goes into starvation mode," said Sadhguru.
