The State Government on Monday decided to provide daily diet allowance to doctors and paramedical staffs engaged in the Government-run Covid Care Centres, Covid Health Centres and Covid Hospitals.
Health Additional Chief Secretary PK Mohapatra said daily diet allowance of Rs 240 would be given to each doctor and paramedical staff. The directive should be implemented with immediate effect, he told the concerned officials in a letter.
The allowance would be provided in form of food and not as financial incentive. Funds for it would be met from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.
