Two COVID-19 care centres set up
Public response to the COVID-19 vaccination programme has improved in Tiruchi amidst an increase in the number of positive cases in the district. The number of people visiting vaccination centres has increased since April 1 when it was opened for all over the age of 45. The district administration had permitted Mini Clinics, primary healthcare centres to administer the jab. At the Tiruchi Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital, nearly 600 to 700 people receive the shot daily, while across the district, at least 4000 people are inoculated every day. "We need to continue to go to work to sustain ourselves and our families. With rise in cases, we must do everything we can to protect ourselves,’ M. Saindhavi, who had taken a shot on Friday said. A meeting has been scheduled with officials of the Labour Department and various representatives of industries and factories across the district to vaccinate their employees. ‘We plan to conduct camps within their campus,’ a senior health official said.More Related News
