‎Set to face the third wave; The Chief Minister said that all those with symptoms will be tested for RTPCR‎

‎Thiruvananthapuram; The Chief Minister said that the health department has already started preparations in view of the third wave. Oxygen beds and ICU are being set up in hospitals from taluk level. The number of ventilators has also been increased. ICUs in district general hospitals will be connected online to medical colleges. The vaccination for children has not started. It is feared that if there is a third wave, there may be more spread of disease in children. The Chief Minister said that paediatric treatment systems are being enhanced in view of it.‎



‎490 oxygen-equipped pediatric beds, 158 HDU Beds, 96 ICU A total of 744 beds are being set up for children, such as beds, and special importance is given to ensuring the availability of oxygen. 870 metric tons of oxygen reserves have been collected. 500 mton and KMSCL at construction centres. Oxygen is also 80 metric tons of buffer stock. In addition, 290 metric tonnes of oxygen have been reserved in hospitals. There are 33 oxygen generation units set up. This will produce an additional 77 metric tons of oxygen. 9 of these have already been commissioned.‎

‎Steps are in progress to set up 38 oxygen generation units being constructed by the state government using various funds. As per the government's instructions, an oxygen generation system for making 13 metric tonnes of oxygen per day has been installed in private hospitals. ‎ ‎ In addition to government hospitals, 281 empanelled private hospitals have also been treated by APL. BPL Free without distinction. ICU in government hospitals There is also a system to transfer to such hospitals if there is no facility or ventilator facility available. So there is nothing to worry about, the Chief Minister said.‎ ‎Everyone who shows symptoms will be subjected to RTPCR tests. More than 80% of those over the age of 18 will be tested in 1,000 samples as part of sentinel surveillance in districts where the first dose has been vaccinated. The test will be done in 1500 samples in districts where the first dose was received below 80%.‎ ‎Those who have taken two doses of vaccine do not show symptoms and are covid positive within a month do not need tests. ‎ ‎ Within 12 hours, the license of laboratories that do not report the test result, whether negative or positive, will be cancelled.‎

‎The district authorities will examine the antigen and RTPCR test kits used in each lab. Licenceof laboratories using substandard‎ ‎ kits to be cancelled In the last 24 hours, 7,537 people who did not wear masks have been booked in the state. 6,480 people were prosecuted for not keeping their social distance. A fine of Rs 13,44,100 was levied earlier in the day. ‎ ‎ Here, more is no longer responding to the systematic propaganda of some centres against our country.‎

‎Despite the strong wave of The Covid Second Wave, we have been able to reduce the death rate in the country at the best possible rate as it has empowered treatment systems and held the wave in such a way that our health systems can accommodate it. No one here had to wander with patients without oxygen and treatment facilities. We have never seen people lining up in front of the shlokas with the bodies of close friends. No one here has ever had the wherewithal to dump bodies in rivers unfulfilled. It is a reality before the people that no one can erase, no matter how much propaganda they spread. It's the experience of the land. It is the result of a struggle together of the people. The Chief Minister said the world had seen that difference.‎
