Ramp up facilities at hospitals to face COVID third wave, PAV urges Jagan
The Hindu
‘People should be alerted on new virus variants and their impact’
Praja Arogya Vedika (PAV) has appealed to Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to take advantage of the present decline in COVID-19 cases to initiate measures to ramp up facilities at the COVID hospitals in view of the third wave surge expected to begin in the second half of August. In a letter to the Chief Minister on Friday, PAV general secretary T. Kameswara Rao and its president M.V. Ramanaiah said that the second wave had created terror among the people with the death of a large number of patients. The new variants of coronavirus are likely to have a serious impact on public health, especially on children.More Related News
