Hyderabad: Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) Director N Balaram on Friday said the management was fully prepared to face any situation in the wake of rise in Covid-19 cases in the State.

At a meeting convened with the Singareni area managers to review the situation in view of rising number of Covid positives cases, Balaram said the SCCL administered Covid vaccines to all the employees and if anyone failed to get the vaccine then necessary arrangements should be made to administer vaccine at their residence only.

He also gave instructions to officials concerned to take steps for administering booster doses to 60-year-old workers. Since the State Health Department has started administering vaccines to those who are in the age group between 15 and 18 years, officials should administer vaccines to the same age group in Singareni areas.

The management has kept 40,000 rapid antigen test kits ready for conducting tests and if required an additional 50,000 kits would be made available. There are around 500 beds with oxygen facilities and depending upon the requirement, the management would increase them to 1,500.

The oxygen plants that were established at five different places in Singareni were working effectively and arrangements were also made to supply medicines and injections to the hospitals on priority basis, Balaram added.
