CM Chouhan addresses members of Crisis Management Committees
Bhopal 01 December 2021: Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that since the last few days, Corona positive cases are being reported off and on in Bhopal, Indore and Jabalpur. The number of Corona patients has increased. Patients have been found at different locations. This is enough to warn us. We are conducting Corona test on a regular basis. The symptoms that are visible are a sign of the impending crisis. It is necessary that we take utmost care.
Chief Minister Chouhan was addressing all collectors and members of Crisis Management Committees of the state through video conference from his residence today. On the occasion, Additional Chief Secretary Health Mohd. Suleman gave a presentation regarding the new Corona variant and its effects in some countries of South Africa. Chief Minister Chouhan said that it is necessary for the members of the Crisis Management Committee to know about the current status of Corona infection and vaccination in Madhya Pradesh and the spread of new variants.
CM Chouhan will go among the public to make people wear masks
Chief Minister Chouhan said that I will go out to generate public awareness about wearing masks. You should also wear masks and urge people to wear masks. There endless benefits of wearing mask. We will make arrangements for treatment, if we take these measures now, then the infection will not spread much. I want to appeal to the public representatives that you have to knock at every door to make people wear masks and get vaccinated. Today is the Maha Abhiyan.
Further, in the month of December, the date of the great campaign will be decided. The speed should be increased in the districts where less than 90 percent vaccination has taken place. People will have to be made aware of the importance of the second dose. The state government has controlled Corona with the help of public cooperation and Crisis Management Committees. This model of Madhya Pradesh has been appreciated everywhere.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that I instruct the collectors not to leave any stone unturned in their efforts. Public awareness must be maintained. The members of the Crisis Management Committee should be called upon to play an active role with full honour.
It is high time we should be in alert mode
Chief Minister Chouhan said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been an excellent leader in every crisis. He has given a message to the public regarding precautions. This is the right time for us to be alert. If we do not take care today, then the situation will become dangerous. I don't want the situation of lockdown to happen again and people to go through a tough phase.
Visit hospitals and see arrangements
Chief Minister Chouhan said that caution is necessary regarding the new variant of Corona. I have given instructions to take all precautions and ensure arrangements. The concerned officials will go to the hospital and see the system there. There is no greater task for me than administering the second dose of the vaccine and get it completed in any case. We will leave no stone unturned in ensuring all the other arrangements. Inspect the hospitals and get information about the arrangement of medicines, availability of equipment and working of oxygen plants.
Avoid unnecessary crowd
Chief Minister Chouhan said that the attendance of children in school has been decreased to 50 percent as they have not been vaccinated. I do not wish to impose any ban. There is no objection to marriage functions and market, but one must avoid unnecessary crowd. We have to educate people so that the infection does not spread. By wearing a mask, by taking precautions, we can avoid a big crisis. We have adequate medicines available.
Mock drills must be conducted in districts
Chief Minister Chouhan said that it is necessary for everyone to get the second dose, this is the biggest priority. All arrangements must be ensured, another wave must not come, that is the challenge. Media should also educate the public and cooperate as before. This will be an act of virtue, be careful, efforts should not be lacking. We are all worried about the new variant, but we must take caution. People’s representatives and members of Crisis Management Committees should be encouraged to use face masks and administer the second dose of vaccine by visiting from door-to-door. Pay attention to frequent hand washing and social distancing.
Ensure arrangements and inspect hospitals. Keep all oxygen plants functional. Keeping in mind the possibility of infection, be alert and vigilant. Collectors should conduct mock drills in all districts, get oxygen plants and fire fighting equipment checked. Keep necessary human resources available and ensure staff training. Don’t let the third wave come. In-charge Ministers must hold discussion with all the members of Crisis Management Committee, religious leaders and social organizations and examine the measures for precaution. We have to fight together. Panchayat Committees should also remain active – Window to News
