Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has directed that Indore, Bhopal and Ujjain with more Corona infections in areas should be total sealed. In other districts also, the infected areas should be completely sealed. The district administration should ensure the supply of essential commodities in these areas. No person will be able to go in and out from these areas.

Services of all government departments and their resources should be taken in Corona related work. The Chief Minister was reviewing the situation and control arrangements of the corona in the state with senior officials today.

Chief Minister Chouhan has urged the people of the state that every person should come out of the house wearing a mask to avoid infection. He said that homemade masks can also be used.

Chouhan said that no person should hide Corona disease. Also inform about who all he has come in contact with. He said that Corona is death if you hide it and life if you inform about it.

 The Chief Minister directed that an FIR should be registered against the person who hides it and after treatment, punitive action should be taken against him. Chouhan said that strict action should be taken against whoever misbehaves with those engaged in Corona control work.

The Chief Minister directed that there should be a good system of health check of the workers who have come from outside the State and returned to the State.

He said that a migrant labourer who came to Madhya Pradesh from another state has tested Corona positive in Gwalior. Special vigilance should be taken in this case.

The number of testing labs is 7, one lakh testing kits have been ordered. We currently have 29,380 PPE pests. The number of N95 masks is 1 lakh 40 thousand and the number of three layer masks is 7.50 lakh.

The Chief Minister directed that the best treatment regime should be ensured for the Corona patients, so that the death rate can be minimised.
