Centre advises state govts review steps for checking spread of Covid in hill stations and tourist locations
Guwahati, July 11 (NKTV): Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla yesterday chaired a meeting to review the steps taken by state governments for checking the spread of Covid-19 in hill stations and tourist locations across India.
The overall management of Covid-19 situation and the vaccination status in the states of Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand and West Bengal was discussed.
The Union Home Secretary emphasized that the second wave of Covid was not yet over and states should ensure strict adherence to the protocols prescribed in respect of wearing of masks, social distancing and other safe behaviour.
It was noted that while the overall case positivity rate may be declining, the case positivity rate in certain districts of Rajasthan, Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh is over 10 per cent which is a cause for concern.
States were also asked to follow the five-fold strategy of Test-Track-Treat-Vaccinate and Covid Appropriate Behaviour. During the meeting adequate health infrastructure preparedness especially in rural, peri-urban and tribal areas was also advised with a view to tackle any potential future surge in cases.
