Next 10 days very important, observe precautions strictly & work with patience: CM

Tuesday, 26 May 2020 | PNS | Haldwani

The number of Covid-19 positive cases is rising in Uttarakhand with the return of migrants from various States. In this situation, all people need to observe precautions seriously. The Government had anticipated this and was preparing for this situation. The next 10 days will be very important from the view point of the contagion so strict observation of precautions and working with patience are vital, said Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat while chairing a meeting with officials at the circuit house in Haldwani on Monday.

Rawat said that the State Government had decided to bring back Uttarakhandis from various States. The Government had anticipated that this would result in an increase in Covid-19 cases and was hence busy preparing in advance for this situation. The Government is prepared and capable of tackling the situation, he said.

Stating that those under quarantine must observe the rules, he said that those not doing so will be made to observe the quarantine strictly. In this time of contagion, all citizens must comprehend their responsibility and cooperate in the fight against the virus. Reviewing the works and arrangements for tackling Covid-19 in Nainital district, Rawat said that with the help of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the State Government is arranging latest equipment.

If the Sushila Tiwari Government hospital requires more and other equipment and resources, the same should be communicated immediately to the administration so that it can be arranged. Stressing that medical waste should be disposed as per the rules, the CM also appreciated the cooperation given by Indian Medical Association and the work done by administration and police personnel. From the view point of the contagion, the next 10 days will be very important so it is essential to observe precautions and work with patience, said the CM.

Cabinet Minister Yashpal Arya and Nainital-Udham Singh Nagar MP Ajay Bhatt appealed the migrants returning home to strictly follow the mandatory quarantine.

They also directed officials to deal strictly with those violating the quarantine rules.

Chief secretary Utpal Kumar Singh informed that more than 1.54 lakh people had returned from various states to Uttarakhand out of more than 2.47 lakh who have registered to return so far.

With a rise in number of people returning to the state, necessary arrangements should be ensured in Covid care hospitals and quarantine centres. Those under home or institutional quarantine should be checked regularly and action should be taken against those violating quarantine.

Nainital district magistrate Savin Bansal said that those returning to the district are being administered a check by the health department and only then are they being sent to home or institutional quarantine.

He also informed about the system put in place for surveillance, scanning, health check and quarantine of migrants returning to the district.

Health secretary Amit Singh Negi, local public representatives and other officials concerned were also present in the meeting.
