Bhopal 02 May 2021: Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the only way to break the chain of corona is that where there is infection, it has to be stopped there itself. Create a micro containment zone and stop the corona there itself if there are cases of infection in villages, mohallas, streets. Also, in areas where there is no corona infection, there should be strict vigilance of those coming from outside, so that the infection cannot enter there. Chief Minister Chouhan said that with the efforts of everyone, 'My village-Corona-free village', 'My locality-Corona-free loclity' and 'My city-Corona-free city' should be made successful.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that by surveying from house to house, patients of cold, cough, fever should be identified and treatment should be started by giving medical kits to them. The patients will get better as medicines will be given to them from the beginning. For this, campaigns should be conducted in villages and cities. Corona support centers should be built in cities, from where medical kits can be easily available.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that medical kits and brochures should be provided to the patients living in home isolation and doctors should talk to them daily and advise them regarding treatment. Patients who have less space at home should be kept in covid care centres. In covid care centers, along with treatment, good arrangements for food etc. should also be ensured.
