Nagpur updates:-Self-quarantine will split the spreading chain COVID-19
Nagpur updates:-As the geographical center of the country with connectivity across all modes of transportation, Nagpur has reported fewer COVID-19 patients compared to other parts of the state.
This has been possible because of the support of the people in the battle against COVID-19 by staying at home and self-quarantining themselves during the lockdown, said Dr. Sanjeev Kumar was interacting with people through Facebook live on Wednesday.
The focus of his live interaction was ‘Measures against Coronavirus Pandemic and Nagpur Division. Replying to a question, he said that if people continued follow-ing the guidelines of lockdown meticulously, it would break the chain of COVID-19 spread. “The key to winning the battle against COVID-19 is in quarantine and isolation,” he said while appealing to the people to extend due co-operation to the authorities concerned.
“The lockdown announced by the Central and State Governments is in the larger interest of the population of the country and Maharashtra,” said the Divisional Commissioner. Though some people might be feeling troubles because of stringent measures, they will have to bear it for the time being to ensure a brighter future, he said.
If people continue with their co-operation extended so far, COVID-19 spread in Nagpur Division can be checked, he added. At the outset of the interaction, the Divisional Commissioner informed the people about the status of COVID-19 outbreak in Nagpur Division, measures being taken by the administration, and preparations for the future.
Barring Nagpur city and Nagpur rural, COVID-19 outbreak was well under control in other districts of Nagpur Division. Still, the administration at the local level was ready with necessary measures. As far as Nagpur is concerned, the administration is regularly taking stock of arrangements at Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) and Indira Gandhi Government Medical College and Hospital (IGGMCH).
Oxygen cylinders, bed, medicine stock, masks, and other necessary items are available in adequate numbers. Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has been sealing the areas where “We understand your concern, but…” DURING the interaction, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar faced a question involving sentiments of a son.
A young man living at Saoli in Chandrapur district lost his father and his mother was stranded in Telangana. A Facebook user asked if some arrangement could be made to bring the mother to her son. Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, Divisional Commissioner, said, “We understand your concern, your grief. We can’t find the request during lockdown though.
