Centre writes to 5 states amid rise in COVID-19 cases
By MYBRANDBOOK
The Centre has written to five states, including Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Mizoram, Maharashtra and Delhi, with higher contributions to the country’s Covid-19 caseload and a higher positivity rate.
The letter states that Kerala reported 2,321 new cases in the last week, Mizoram saw 814 new cases, a total of 794 new infections were reported from Maharashtra, 724 new cases from Delhi and 367 from Haryana.
The Union Health Ministry has advised all states to continue monitoring the spread of infection and undertake the required steps for prompt and effective management of Covid-19 along with continuing the five-fold strategy of test-track-treat-vaccination and adherence to Covid-appropriate behaviour, with particular emphasis on wearing masks in crowded places.
The states have also been advised to monitor influenza-like illness (ILI) & SARI cases in all health facilities on a regular basis for detecting early warning signals.
Rajesh Bhushan, Union Health Secretary, said, “These are few states which are reporting a higher contribution to India`s caseload and a higher positivity rate. The Centre advised all states and UTs to follow a risk assessment-based approach on the opening of economic and social activities without losing the gains made so far in the fight against the pandemic.”
He further added, “It is essential that the state must maintain a strict watch and take pre-emptive action if required in any areas of concern to control any emerging spread of infection. Testing and surveillance still remain important to track the virus, its spread and evolution.”
