Health Dept ready to fight Omicron: Anil Vij

Chandigarh, December 3

Home and Health Minister Anil Vij said the state Health Department was fully prepared to fight the Omicron variant of Covid. Vij said 90 PSA oxygen plants had been set up in the state and orders had been given to make them operational.

“The Rockefeller organisation has provided a machine for free to Maharishi Dayanand University, Rohtak, which has been made operational. The work of genome sequencing has also started. Earlier all samples had to be sent to Delhi for genome sequencing and that led to delay in detection of the virus,” the Minister added.

He said orders had been issued to all Deputy Commissioners, Commissioners of Police, Inspector Generals of Police and Superintendents of Police for enforcing Covid protocol strictly. —TNS
