The negligence of the Health Department regarding the new variant of Corona, Omicron, may be overshadowed. A shocking case has come to light. Genome sequencing is being delayed even after positive reports of people from abroad.
The sample is being sent for genome sequencing 15 days after the infection is confirmed, while the government also believes that a positive patient becomes negative in 15 days. Due to this negligence in the Gopalganj district, a chain of new variants of Corona can be formed.
In Gopalganj, the Health Department has sent samples of 5 people for genome sequencing. According to Gopalganj DPM Dheeraj Kumar, the matter is old. But as soon as the guidelines of the new variant Omicron came, the sample was sent for caution on 3 December. On the question of why the sample is being sent for the delay, the DPM says that this is being done to find out Omicron.
A young man came from Turkey in Gopalganj. His corona test was done on 6 November. Even after the test report came positive, the Health Department did not do any work to find out the strain of the virus in it. The matter was related to foreign countries. But the sample has been sent to IGIMS for sequencing on December 3.
The investigation of the wife of the young man who came from Turkey was also done on 6 November. The investigation report came positive, but the health department did not show seriousness. No attention was paid to genome sequencing. Both husband and wife turned positive, but no work was done regarding genome sequencing of both.
A youth came from Bangalore in Gopalganj and his investigation was done on 18 October. The test report came positive, but now on December 3, the sample is being sent for genome sequencing. Now the question is, after October 18, will the concerned youth still be Covid positive?
The sample of one such youth from Gopalganj has been sent for genome sequencing. He did not go anywhere outside the village. Was positive after coming in contact. The big question is to send the sample for genome sequencing a month after coming positive.
The Health Department also does not know how many people have come in contact with the infected whose report has been sent for genome sequencing after coming positive. There is no information whether he has been in home isolation or gone to the hospital. In such a situation, the claims of the Health Department are being exposed by the arbitrariness of the officials.
