COVID is not over yet and with the rise in COVID cases in some States, it is important to be alert and not forget COVID appropriate behaviour, said Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday after a review meeting with State Health Ministers. He also urged States to continue surveillance and focus on genome sequencing.
The Health Minister has also directed States to ensure increased focus on COVID vaccination coverage for school going children and administering precautionary dose to the elderly.
“COVID is not over yet. There are reports of rising cases of COVID in some States. It is important at this time to be alert and not forget COVID Appropriate Behaviour (CAB) such as wearing masks and maintaining physical distance to prevent spread of the infection,’’ said the Minister.
