Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the cases of corona are increasing rapidly in the state. Therefore, there is a need to be fully prepared to prevent the third wave. Active cases have gone up to 608. On November 21, there were only 85 cases. There have been 11 cases of Omicron who have become completely healthy. Let us all work together to defeat Corona. Chouhan was addressing crisis management groups at district, development block, ward and panchayat level from his residence today. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that there have been too many cases in America, Britain, Italy, France, South Africa. Keeping their situation in mind, preparations should be completed to avoid the third wave in the state.
The Chouhan said that the districts having less than 90 percent vaccination of the first and second doses should increase the percentage by working hard. Vaccination of 15-18 year olds is starting from January 3. Vaccination should be on war footing. Children have to be given only the Covaxin. This has to be taken care of. Vaccination will be done only in schools.
Chouhan said that home isolation will be our priority. Give the kit to those who stay at home. Keep the PSA plant functional. Under the Mukhyamantri Covid Upchar Yojana, the contract of private hospitals has been extended till March 31. For this, all collectors should execute contracts expeditiously. Chouhan directed to make available the number of beds on Sarthak Portal.
Chouhan said that 140 crore vaccines have been administered in India under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. Under his able leadership, we will all fight the third wave together. MPs, MLAs, social workers, religious leaders, Patanjali Yogpeeth, Gayatri Parivar, Jan Abhiyan Parishad, health workers, Lions Club, Rotary Club etc. have to be connected for this. The ministers in charge should make everyone work together. Village, Panchayat and Ward level committees should take cough, cold, mild fever seriously. If there are such symptoms, then the sample should be taken immediately and the test should be done. Make arrangements for treatment. Get health information by keeping an eye constantly on the patients in home isolation. Make sure to follow Covid friendly behaviour. Do not allow unnecessary crowds to gather.
Chouhan said that we will heave a sigh of relief only after getting immunization of children between the age group of 15 to 18 years. This is the biggest safety. Crisis management committees should ensure vaccination. Increase the number of tests by coordination. Make preparations to build a Covid Care Center at the block level. Keep patients at Covid Care Centres so that hospitals do not get crowded. Hospitals should also remain ready. A Covid Care Centre should be started immediately in the district. Testing is caution and safety.
Make the public aware for the test. Don't hesitate to give samples. Start fever clinics where they are not operational.
Test arrangements should be made at inter-state railway stations, bus stands. Ensure contract tracing. If a person has corona, the people around him should also be tested. The results should be given within 24 hours by sending the sample to the designated lab. The number of different types of beds in government hospitals, medicines should be for at least one month. Keep the ventilators in place.
