“The state of Uttar Pradesh has effectively controlled the spread of coronavirus with the successful implementation of trace, test, treat, and vaccination strategies. To provide additional protection against Covid-19 infection, ‘Amrit Dose’ (booster/precaution dose) is being administered”, stated Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The weekly mega campaign for a booster dose is being organised across the state. Last Sunday, more than 19 lakh people took the booster doses. More than 2 crore people have taken their booster dose in the state till now. The campaign should be intensified further.

There is a sharp decline in the daily positivity rate of Covid-19. The daily positivity rate, which had gone up to 1.6 per cent till a week ago, was recorded at 0.8% on August 22. Currently, the total number of active cases is 4463. Of these, 4101 people are getting treatment at home. In the last 24 hours, more than 68,000 tests were conducted in the state, of which 561 tested positive. In the same period, 388 people were treated and became Covid-19 free in the state.

He added that in the wake of the rains, there is a possibility of an outbreak of many diseases. The daily OPD records in hospitals show that viral/seasonal diseases are on the rise. The health department and medical education department should immediately check the availability of medicines in all government hospitals, super specialty hospitals, medical colleges, the presence of doctors, and the functioning of testing equipment. The doctor should be available at the OPD on time. In case of any such complaints, action should be taken by taking immediate cognizance.

There is a need to take swift action in cases of crimes against women and children. Such issues are sensitive, so it is necessary to deal with them as a priority. The District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police must review the pending cases of crime against women and children. Concerted efforts have to be made for the prosecution to be effective. Not a single criminal should be spared.

“In recent times, the most contagious lumpy virus and the infection have affected cows has caused widespread livestock loss in several states. To stop its spread in the state, we have to work on a mission mode. Organising cattle fairs in the state should be postponed till the situation becomes normal. Farmers should be given complete information about the symptoms and treatment of infection. According to the need, the entry of animals from the bordering states of the state should be banned. The entry of unnecessary people into cow shelters should be banned”, he further added.

Special vaccination campaigns for animals are necessary for protecting them against the lumpy virus. Support will also be received from the Government of India for the availability of the vaccine. This is a virus spread by flies and mosquitoes. In such a situation, a special cleanliness campaign should be conducted in villages and cities in coordination with the Department of Rural Development, Urban Development, and Animal Husbandry. In case of the death of the infected animal, cremation should be done following the protocol.
