Isolation and vaccination biggest weapon
Prime Minister Narendra Modi advised the Chief Ministers that the governments should continue to issue guidelines related to home isolation. Also, improve it from time to time. During this, the better the system of testing, tracking, and treatment, the less the burden on hospitals will increase. PM Modi said that apart from fighting Omicron, the country also needs to be prepared to deal with other variants of Corona in the future. He said that apart from this, we also have to ensure that maximum treatment is done in-home isolation. Modi said the central and state governments should continue the collective approach adopted so far in fighting the pandemic. Vaccination is the biggest weapon against the covid pandemic. The sooner we provide preventive doses to frontline workers and senior citizens, the stronger our health system will be.
