Nalgonda: Health Minister Eatala Rajender on Tuesday asserted that the people of the State need not panic over the increasing Covid-19 cases since hospitals and medical wings are ready to face any situation.

The Minister was speaking after inaugurating a 50-bed Mother and Child Hospital in the Government General Hospital at Suryapet, along with Power Minister G Jagdish Reddy. He also inspected several wards in the hospital and inquired with the doctors about the health services being extended to the people. Later, he held a review meeting with officials of Nalgonda, Yadadri-Bhongir and Suryapet districts.

Rajender said the State government was ready to tackle any situation arising out of the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic. “People should not panic but must follow Covid norms of social distancing, wearing masks and hand sanitisation. People should not panic since remaining positive is the first line of medicine against the virus,” he said.

Rapid kits, which give results in minutes, have been supplied to all government hospitals including Primary Health Centres (PHCs). Special kits, which consisted of medicines, would be extended to those who test positive, the Minister said.

About 99.5 percent of Corona positive patients were recovering and safety returning home after getting discharged from hospitals, he said.
