‘We are ensuring that every taluk gets an oxygen plant’
“The State government is taking all steps to manage the epidemic. We are ready to face a third wave, if there is one,” Minister for Handloom, Textiles and Sugar Shankar Patil Munenakoppa said in Hubballi on Sunday. He was speaking at an interaction with journalists at the Chigurupati Mallikarjun Rao Memorial Swarn Bhavan organised by the district unit of the Karnataka Union of Working Journalists. “Some experts have said that the third wave could hit by the end of September or early October. But I feel that if people don’t follow health protocols, then such a wave can arrive sooner. Kerala and Maharashtra are witnessing a surge in positive cases. If we do not follow the rules, then we will also see a sharp rise in such cases,” he said.More Related News
