When we observe the increase in
number of cases in India everyone got frustration on their future.
The number of Covid-19 cases tally to
145,380 in India. This includes 80,722 patients with the disease and 60,490 who
have been treated and discharged and 4,167 deaths. It’s not correct to discuss on
actions of Modi government since two months to tackle the virus. But states don’t
have any clarity on key issues like quarantine period, how to do tests and
using PPE kits from Indian Council of Medical Research. Initially, ICMR said
that 21 days quarantine period later it was reduced to 14 days and now it’s 7
days. ICMR failed to give clarity to states on quarantine issue.
Number of tests is still in confusion
to states even 60 days after lockdown in India. Some states followed random
tests where as others follow large number of tests. Telangana did just 25K
tests so far, in the name random coronavirus tests. Telangana Health Minister
said that we follow as per the guidelines of ICMR. In AP, two lakh tests done
till now. Lastly, ICMR didn’t give directions to the state on using PPE kits. Every
states imported PPE kits from China and South Korea. Complaints rose against
Chinese kits not working properly. ICMR failed to pass the clear-cut directions
on PPE kits to the states. There are some political and some administrative
reasons for the surge of the cases in India.
