Give priority to arrangements for treatment of paediatric diseases, says Chief Minister
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday directed the officials to enforce COVID-19 restrictive measures in districts having high rates of infection. Reviewing the pandemic situation, Mr. Patnaik said, “Though the test positivity rate is below 5%, it is necessary to adopt precautions keeping the high rate of infections in a few districts. There should be focus in districts having higher rate of infection.” In the past 24 hours, 63,695 samples were tested and 2,640 tested positive which means the TPR was 4.13. In 10 out of 30 districts, the TPR was found to be above 5%. The highest 13.45% TPR was reported from Balasore followed by Malkangiri (7.54%).More Related News
