Raj CM ‘Jaipur: Chief Minister Shri Ashok Gehlot has said that the condition of corona infection in the country is becoming increasingly frightening. Despite all efforts, there are complaints of lack of resources from the States. In this time of crisis, the entire country goes beyond politics to set an example of solidarity. He said that for better management of Covid, the Central Government should ensure planned and equitable supply of oxygen, medicines and other resources, keeping life saving paramount.

Gehlot was expressing his views in a meeting held on Friday with the Chief Ministers of states under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on management of Covid. He said that in the present circumstances of Covid many heartbreaking scenes are being seen. In such a situation, there is a need to increase the confidence of common people.

 Such efforts should be made that no person is killed due to lack of oxygen and medicines.

The Chief Minister said all the States were given oxygen and based on active cases Remdacivir medication should be allocated. He said on 21 April, 2021, Rajasthan was allocated only 26 thousand 500 Remedesvir injections in the immediate allocation, while Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh were allocated 1 lakh 63 thousand and 92 thousand 200 Remedesvir injections respectively, despite having less active cases than Rajasthan. Huh. Similarly, the proportion of active cases was not taken into consideration in the allocation of oxygen. He said that their supply should be done rationally in future so that no state has to face any problem regarding treatment of Covid patients.

Gehlot said that during the treatment of Covid patients, the helpers check-in kits such as IL-6, D-dimer, ferritin test etc. have also started to decrease gradually. The central government should also plan to ensure adequate availability of these kits so that they can be supplied smoothly to the states in time.
