In this sequence, the hospital was dedicated in Bina.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Petroleum Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, Government of India have been very cooperative in the construction of the 200 bedded temporary Covid Hospital, which was built here in a short time. This temporary hospital is a great example of a fully equipped medical facility developed in a very short time.

We all faced dangerous infection during the second wave. We must not ignore any possibility and be prepared for every situation in future.

Madhya Pradesh will become self-sufficient in terms of oxygen

Also, oxygen cylinders can be sent to other places through refilling and Madhya Pradesh will be self-sufficient in terms of oxygen.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that Corona infection is now under control in Madhya Pradesh. Today the state’s Corona positivity rate is 0.46 percent. There are 24 districts of the state where not a single case of Corona has been reported today. As of today, there are three cases in Sagar and 15 in entire Bundelkhand but we should neither be reckless nor must we stop taking precautions. Rather, we must continue to adopt consistent Covid Appropriate Behavior i.e. behaviour to prevent Covid infection, which includes wearing mask, using sanitizer or soap, not forming crowds and get vaccinated.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that this is the time to show restraint and patience. At present, no big events such as weddings, religious rituals and other programmes can be organized. Infection spreads only due to carelessness and laxity. Only restraint and precautions will come in handy in preventing infection. He said that media should also play its role in educating the public. Along with this, Corona warriors should also make the public aware. Chief Minister Chouhan said that it is necessary for everyone to follow the rules under the present circumstances.

He said that Corona vaccination is a panacea to prevent ccorona infection. Vaccination is mandatory for all. He informed that about 100 crore people in India are yet to be vaccinated against Corona.
