The mantra of tracing, testing, and quick treatment is yielding good results. In the last 24 hours, 26 new patients were confirmed in the testing. In the same period, 23 patients were healthy and discharged. So far, 16 lakh 85 thousand 877 residents of the state have become healthy after getting rid of corona infection.

In some districts including Gorakhpur and Siddharthnagar, normal life is still affected due to the situation of flood/excess rain. Arrangements should be made for the security and maintenance of every person. There should be no delay in providing relief material. Continuous monitoring of the water level of rivers should be done because of rains. NDRF, SDRF, and disaster management teams should be kept in active mode for 24 hours.

Rapid work is going on for self-reliance in the field of oxygen generation. So far, 329 out of the proposed 555 plants have become functional. The process of setting up the remaining under-construction plant should be completed expeditiously.
