No need to panic: Eatala Rajender
Eatala Rajender
Advises public not to lower guard on Covid-19 protocols
Karimnagar: There is no need to panic though a new strain of corona virus has been found in the UK," said Health Minister Eatala Rajender. "While the government was taking all precautionary measures, it is people who have a major role to play in preventing a second wave in the state," he said. The Health Minister appealed to the public not to lower the guard and ensure that all Covid-19 protocols like using masks, sanitising hands frequently, maintaining social distance and avoiding big gatherings. Such measures can help in maintaining the present levels of Covid cases. The threat of surge would always be there till the vaccine arrives and hence people have to be alert and careful.
He said that it has been noticed that of late some people were neglecting wearing masks and those who were using were not covering their mouth and nose.
He assured the people that the state government on its part was ready to face any situation. The minister said that according to experts the virus could spread rapidly during winter which may last for another month or so. Hence, it was necessary for all to take precautionary measures.
He said all those who came to the state from the UK were being screened and sent to the isolation centres if tested positive for the corona virus. So far no one was found to be suffering from the new strain of corona, he said. Even Director CCMB appealed to the people not to panic but to strictly follow health protocols. As of now that was the only way we can ensure safety and prevent a second wave, he said.
