Bhopal 14 January 2022: Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that the Public Participation model of Madhya Pradesh will work in the third wave also in the control of Covid. Once again the government and citizens together will defeat the third wave in the same way that work was done when dealing with crisis situations with public cooperation in the first and second wave of Covid. Joint efforts will be successful, humanity will win.
Chief Minister Chouhan was seeking information about the status of Covid and efforts being made in the districts of the state, from his residence through video conference today. Chief Minister Chouhan interacted with the members of Crisis Management Group and receive their suggestions. Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and State Ministers also took part in the discussion and meeting through video conference. Public Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr. Prabhuram Chaudhary was present in the video conferencing from the Chief Minister’s residence. Chief Minister Chouhan extended Makar Sankranti greetings to all the public representatives and officers at the video conference.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that maximum number of people will remain in home isolation, who should be taken care of and made aware of precautions. This is important. At present, 21 thousand 394 patients are in home isolation in the state. Necessary facilities are being given to them. Chief Minister Chouhan will review the re-vaccination work and infection control in the Collectors’ conference on January 17.
Only 3 percent positive patients are being admitted, it is necessary to take precautions
Chief Minister Chouhan has said that a big challenge is in front of us in the form of third wave. Do not panic, be alert and cautious. There is also a possibility of Corona cases increasing rapidly. A fact has come from all over the world that those who get infected in this wave are less serious. Therefore, the cases of hospitalization are now a little more than about three percent. In the previous wave, up to 40 percent patients had to be admitted. After the research done so far, experts are of the opinion that the effect of this variant remains till the throat. It does not affect the lungs much. But that does not mean that we should not be alert. We have to win the Covid epidemic, while combating this wave with full vigilance, it is also our resolve.
80 thousand tests are being conducted daily in the state
Chief Minister Chouhan said that crisis management committees of wards and district panchayats along with blocks are associated in this discussion today. I appeal that the targets given to the districts for the Corona test should be fulfilled. Representatives must focus on testing in their areas. There is also an appeal to the Crisis Management of the villages and panchayats that if anyone in the village has any cold and cough, then inspire them to get them tested. The Chief Minister appealed to Panchayat Level Crisis Management Committees to see that no one is left without vaccination. 100 percent immunization of youth of 15 to 18 years must be ensured. This is a powerful way to avoid Covid. Increase the number of tests in all district fever clinics. There should be adequate number of fever clinics. The test report should come within 24 hours so that no one roams around as a spreader. If someone comes positive, then he should be isolated at home and given a medical kit. Due to this, the medicine of the infected will start on time and the infection will not increase. If there is no system of home isolation, the infected person should be admitted to Covid Care Center. An ambulance should be arranged to admit the infected person, so that he can be taken to the hospital on time. The Block Level Crisis Management Committee should also get the suspects tested in coordination with the Block Medical Officer. Maintain a system 24 hours by creating a control room.
Take advantage of Covid Care Center
Chief Minister Chouhan said that the members of the Crisis Management Committee should decide that the infected should be admitted to the Covid Care Center. The important work of the District Level Crisis Management Committees is to get the people to follow Covid appropriate behavior. Make everyone aware that you must wear a mask when you step out of the house. Also, see that there is no overcrowding in any place and tests should be conducted regularly.
Ensure prompt test reports
Chief Minister Chouhan instructed all the commissioners to ensure that the test report is received within 24 hours. Monitor the labs in medical colleges. The work of uploading the necessary information on the Government of India portal and keeping all other arrangements in the public domain should also be done. The Crisis Management Committee of the district has to see to the arrangements for smooth operation of Covid Care Centers in their district. The arrangements for civil hospitals, district hospitals and medical colleges should be appropriate. We have sufficient number of ICU beds, oxygen beds and general beds. ICU beds, oxygen beds, general beds of Covid Care Centers must be checked. Ensure that the oxygen plants are in running condition. Check the arrangements of all the necessary equipment including ventilators, concentrators. There should be no shortage of resources. Our top priority is to save the lives of the people and stand by them in their time of crisis.
Test arrangements should be made in public places
Chief Minister Chouhan said that arrangements for testing should be made at railway stations, bus stands and airports. Talk to patients living in home isolation. Private hospitals should be kept under contract under the Chief Minister’s Covid Treatment Scheme. The hospital management should not take more money than the package that has been fixed for the private hospital. Oxygen cylinders should be available and functional. Arrangements of one month’s medicines should be ensured. Chief Minister Chouhan said that by ensuring proper testing, contact tracing, home isolation on being detected Covid positive, medical kit distribution, arrangement of ambulance when required, oxygen arrangement, medicines, vaccination and Covid appropriate behavior when admitted to the Covid Care Center, the public can be taken out safely from the third wave.
Interaction with collectors and public representatives
Chief Minister Chouhan today interacted with many public representatives and collectors in a video conference that lasted for about one and a half hours.
