A press note from Jipmer said though doctors, nurses and other staff at all health facilities were working round-the-clock to combat the challenge of COVID-19, and had to reduce their usual work, medical institutions like Jipmer have tried to maintain emergency and specialised services, particularly those that are life saving.The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4.
