Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar reviewed the arrangements and work done in view of the surge in Covid-19 cases in Ambala district by the District Administration. He said that real time data with regard to general beds, oxygen beds and ventilators in hospitals should be updated daily so that people are made aware of the actual availability.
Earlier, the Chief Minister also inspected the trauma centre and oxygen generation plant in the district.
Khattar also directed officers that people should be provided with whatever they need at the moment. Medical kits should be given to patients in home isolation on time and a team of doctors and health workers should go to the patient’s house and take care of their health. If the home-isolated patient needs to be admitted to the hospital, then he should be referred on time. All arrangements should be made in micro and macro containment zones as well and the concerned officers should regularly visit and take stock, he instructed.
He also issued directions against the black marketing of medical equipments, medicines and food items, stating that people should get them at reasonable prices and the District Administration should take special care of this.
Giving necessary guidelines to IG Y Purna Kumar and SSP Hamid Akhtar, he further said that the imposition of night curfew and Section 144 should be followed and adherence of all the Covid-19 guidelines should be ensured.
At the meeting, the Haryana CM was also apprised about the current availability of medicines, general beds, oxygen beds, ventilator beds, home isolation, vaccination, oximeters, digital thermometers, remdesivir, and the Covid positivity rate, and micro and macro containment zones.
He was also informed that a board of doctors oversee whether private hospitals demanding remdesivir injections really need them before they are supplied. Remdesivir injections are not made available to individuals and the private hospital is provided with it only after the board’s approval.
The CM was also told that there is no shortage of medicines, control rooms have been set up by the District Administration, and patients in home isolation are contacted through the Control Room to enquire about their well-being.
