New Delhi. For the last few days, there has been an increase in the cases of COVID in various states. It is also having effect in the districts of NCR. In the last 24 hours, 103 new positive patients have been confirmed in Gautam Budh Nagar and 33 in Ghaziabad. The system of wearing face masks in public places should be implemented effectively for all in the districts of NCR and Lucknow. People should be made aware to follow the covid protocol. We have to be vigilant about the health safety of children. Children should be made aware about the COVID protocol in schools as necessary. In the districts of NCR (Gautam Budh Nagar, Ghaziabad, Hapur, Meerut, Bulandshahr, Baghpat) and Lucknow district, the people who were left out of vaccination should be identified and vaccinated. Public address system should be used effectively.
At present, the total number of active cases in the state is 856. In the last 24 hours, 01 lakh 13 thousand corona tests were done, in which 170 new corona patients were confirmed. In the same period, 110 people were treated and became corona free. We have to take full care and caution. The progress of the COVID vaccination campaign is satisfactory. But there is a need to accelerate the vaccination of children. With over 30.86 million COVID vaccinations, the entire population aged 18+ has received at least one dose of the vaccine, while more than 86.69% of adults have received both.
94.26% of adolescents in the 15 to 17 age group have received the first dose. After the first dose, children in the age group of 12 to 14 years should be given the second dose as per eligibility. People aged 18+ are expected to speed up booster doses. In any case, it should be ensured that not a single citizen is deprived of the vaccine. The general public should be made aware about the importance of booster dose and booster vaccination centres.
