In the wake of a sud𝔉den spurt in Covid cases in some countries, Haryana's Health Minister Anil Vij on Thursday said there was no need to panic, but asked people to voluntarily follow precautionary measures like wearing masks in crowded places and using hand sanitiser.
Vij said if any specific guidelines or direc🌜tions about Covid come from the Centre, they will be fully implemented in the stateꦐ.
"There is 🐎no need to panic. But people must themselves follow measures against Covid like wearing masks, using sanitisers, etc. Everyone should voluntarily follow these measures," Vij said in a statement.
He said Haryana has adequate stocks of medicine a🧔nd RT-PCR test facility in every district. Ventilators are a🦩lso available in sufficient numbers.
"We are fully prepared to fight against corona. Taking exꦅperience from the previous Covid waves, we 🦩are ready in all respects," he said.
Vij further said, "earlier there was a problem with oxygen but now we have installed P🦄SA plants in all hospitals above 50 beds and there ღis no shortage of oxygen".
The sudden rise in positive cases in countri💜es such as the US, Japan, Korea, Brazil, and China has caused concern among Indian authorities.
The Centre has asked all states and Union territories to ramp up tဣhe whole genome sequencing of positive cases to understand the virus' n🔜ew variants.
Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has asked people to follow Covid-appropriate behaviour, including wearing masks in crowded pl🅘aces and g🧜etting vaccinated.
