In the wake of the incidence of COVID, oxygen has become a crucial medical resource. And to put a check on its wastage, Director of Medical Education Dr. K Ramesh Reddy has issued orders to all government hospitals to prevent leakages, to close regulators and knobs on time, not to allow patients’ attendants to handle oxygen flow meters, and other measures. Stating that every litre of oxygen saved will save a life, who is in need of it, he suggested some measures to save the medical resource. Apart from checking for leakages from oxygen masks, the DME has suggested to switch off or reduce the oxygen flow when threshold levels of oxygen saturation level is achieved, to make one patient care staff available exclusively in charge to continuously monitor any open valves and close them.Almaya Munnettam (Lay People to the Fore), group in the Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese of the Syro-Malabar Church opposed to the synod-recommended Mass, rejected a circular issued by Major Archbishop Raphael Thattil and apostolic administrator Bosco Puthur on June 9 to implement the unified Mass in the archdiocese from July 3.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
