Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday discussed the situation of Corona in the northeastern states. It was attended by the Chief Ministers of Assam, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Tripura and Nagaland. During this, Modi expressed concern over a possible third wave. He said that it is not right to gather huge crowds in hill stations, markets without masks and ignoring protocols. This is a matter of concern for us.
He said, 'Some people speak that they want to enjoy before the third wave arrives. People have to understand that the third wave will not come on its own. The question must be how to stop it? How to follow protocol? Corona does not come on its own, if someone goes and brings it, it comes. If we take precautions, then only we will be able to stop it.
We have to keep an eye on every variant of the virus. To prevent infection, we have to take more strict steps at the micro-level. This is a fraud. Changes color frequently. How irritating it would be after the mutation. Experts are studying on this. Prevention and treatment is very important. We have to put our full focus on this. The attack of the virus will fade in front of two yards of distance, mask and vaccination coverage.
Hemant Biswa Sarma was telling that he created more than 6 thousand micro-containment zones. This determines the responsibility. The more emphasis we put on the micro-containment zone, the sooner we will come out of this situation. The experience gained in the last one and a half years will have to be used. Many innovations have been made in the states and districts, these have to be continued.
Experts are repeatedly warning that due to inattention, carelessness and overcrowding, there can be a huge jump in corona infection. It is important that every step is taken seriously. Events that are overcrowded should be stopped. The centre is providing free vaccines to all. For the third wave, vaccination will have to be accelerated. Celebrity, religion, education and people related to every field should make people aware of vaccination.
We have to move forward by improving the infrastructure of testing and treatment. The cabinet has given a new package of 23 thousand crore rupees. This package will help every state in the North-East to strengthen its health infrastructure. Where cases are increasing, it will help to increase ICU beds. Oxygen has to work.
Oxygen plants are being set up across the country. 150 plants have been approved for North-East. Get it done soon and don't get in trouble. Prepare skilled manpower as well. Considering the geographical location, it is also very important to build a temporary hospital.
Trained manpower is essential for ICU beds, oxygen beds, new hospitals. Every help related to this will be given by the central government has achieved the capacity to conduct more than 20 lakh tests daily across the country. Testing capacity will have to be increased in every district of North-East. Aggressive testing will have to be done along with random testing.
