Instructing officials that there should not be any shortage of kits, he said that the kits should be made available in all hospitals.

Give permission to private hospitals to increase the number of beds and monitor hospitals’ orders to purchase Remdesivir injections and medicines.

Covid positive patients should be given treatment by following prescribed protocol. Since there was huge demand for oxygen, officials should take precautions to ensure there is no leakage in cylinders.
