Govt is ensuring preparedness in very aspect to mitigate third wave, said health and medical education minister Dr.K.Sudhakar.
Speaking to media after charing a high level meeting at Vidhanasoudha, Dr.Sudhakar said that responsibilities have been allocated to officials and instructions have been given to ensure coordination between other departments. The experience of past two waves will help us anticipate and plan accordingly.
WHO has said that omicron is the fastest speeding variant. Although omicron is not as severe as Delta, it cannot be said to be mild. Those who are fully vaccinated with two doses may not get severe infection. So everyone should get two doses, said minister.
More than 29 crore are infected with covid across the world. From December 27 to January 2 the infection has increased by 79%. About 109 countries have not vaccinated even 70%. 36 countries have not even vaccinated 10%. 80% of the cases in ICU are not vaccinated. WHO has requested India to export vaccines to other countries. No country is safe until every country is safe.
Govt mulling to issue Green passes to identify fully vaccinated citizens
10,000 home surgeons, nursing students to be roped in for tele-triaging
Strict rules in state
More than 99% people in the state are vaccinated with first dose. 80% are vaccinated with two doses. India has today achieved another milestone by crossing 150 crore doses. This is testimony of centre and state government’s good work.
*strict surveillance on travellers coming from other countries and states at railway stations, bus stations and airports.
*Mandatory physical or tele-triaging of infected to assess requirement of hospitalisation. 10,000 medical and nursing students to be roped in for this.
*Uniform treatment protocol, discharge policy and quarantine guidelines to be released.
*Green pass to be issued for full vaccinated.
*Celebrities to be roped in for awareness campaign on vaccination and covid appropriate behaviour.
Strict surveillance?
Now??
AFTER letting that person that tested positive enter Belgaum from Bangalore just because his ticket was booked???
This time too we’re all going to suffer because of negligence and zero accountability.
And now they’ll raise their lathis against us. Blame us. Restrict us. Deny us.
Utter dog shite.
