Accusing the Centre of spreading panic about the spread of Coronavirus, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday alleged that a section of the media was playing it up to deflect public attention from the Delhi violence.

 
"Today, a lot of people are shouting corona, corona, a bit too much. Yes. it is a disease, and the entire world is concerned. But don't make people panicky," Banerjee said while addressing a Trinamool Congress meeting here in South Dinajpur district of North Bengal.
 
The Chief Minister also pulled up a section of the media for 'playing up' the virus outbreak.
 
"Some channels are playing it up in an effort to make people forget the Delhi happenings. Do report when it occurs. We don't want it to spread. We don't want a single person to die in Bengal of the disease. But do remember all those who died in Delhi, did not die of coronavirus, dengue or swine flu," she said.
 
Banerjee said had those people in Delhi died due to the virus one could have at least known they perished because there is no remedy to the virus attack.
 
"If they had died of the virus we would have at least known they died due to a dreaded disease to which there is no remedy.. but healthy people were mercilessly killed, and torched to death," she said.
