On the occasion of World Nurses Day, the Kerala Cartoon Academy on Tuesday paid a beautiful tribute to nurses by painting walls of Ramlayam in Thrissur, the district which reported the first COVID-19 case in the country.

In a joint effort, the Kerala Social Security Mission and the Kerala Cartoon Academy orgainsed the event as part of the government's 'Break the Chain' campaign to honour nurses.

The government selected Thrissur for the event as it was the first district in Kerala to report a COVID-19 case after the person who returned from Wuhan in China tested positive for the virus in January.

Cartoonists painted the walls to express solidarity with COVID-19 fighters and to give out a "break the chain" message through their art.

The walls of Ramlayam came alive with dedications not just to the nurses but also to all frontline warriors including healthcare staff, station workers and police and also messages spreading awareness among people and emphasising the need to wear masks and follow social distancing in public places.

Cartoon Academy chairman K Unnikrishnan, secretary Anoop Radhakrishnan, senior cartoonists Mohandas, Ratheesh Ravi, Suresh Da Vinci, Madhus, TS Santhosh, Priyaranjini, Dinraj and Shakir Eravakkad were among those who participated in the event.
