Lt Governor chairs series of meetings with Covid Task Force, DCs & SPs
SRINAGAR : “Covid-19 threat is not over yet. We need strong cooperation from the society to prevent the threat of third wave. This is the top priority of the government”, observed Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha while chairing weekly meetings with Covid Task Force, DCs & SPs at Raj Bhavan here.
During the meeting with the DCs & SPs, the Lt Governor directed the officials to take strict action against Covid-19 protocol violators as per provisions of Disaster Management Act.
The best line of defence against the pandemic is Covid Appropriate Behaviour, intense surveillance and vaccination. Strict monitoring of the spread and keeping track of all variants is crucial at this stage, observed the Lt Governor.
Targeted testing must be increased in the areas where infection is on the rise. The cases are preventable if people adhere to Covid protocol, he added.
The Lt Governor passed specific directions for holding special camps to vaccinate college and university students.
With an improved Covid scenario and 100% vaccination among students and teachers, we can plan gradual reopening of higher education institutions, said the Lt Governor.
