Do not remove your mask, sanitise and wash hands.

We are increasing COVID-19 dedicated hospitals, beds jumbo Hospitals, setting up doctor’s task force, oxygen beds. We did face a shortage in beds as the cases increased but now we are making sure that the oxygen is available for the treatment.
“As the case is increasing, we will start a testing facility where they will visit the house and take the necessary information and I request all the leaders MLA to take the responsibility of their respective wards and help us in chasing the virus”.
