Tamil Nadu health minister Ma.Subramanian announced that the state will increase the covid test to effectively control the spread of virus. This decision was taken at a virtual consultation meeting with the union ministry.
Coimbatore: Tamil Nadu plans to boost Covid testing to 11,000 people. On Friday, a virtual consultation conference was held on behalf of the Union Health Ministry regarding the coronavirus outbreak in several states.
Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya spoke with the state health ministers regarding Covid prevention techniques. Tamil Nadu's Health Minister M. Subramanian participated by video from Coimbatore.
While addressing the media on the core of the interaction, he stated, "As many as 273 people have been affected by Covid-19 infection in Tamil Nadu in the last 24 hours." In this situation, mock exercises are set for the 10th and 11th of April throughout all government hospitals in Tamil Nadu."
The mock exercises will focus on monitoring hospital bed amenities, pharmaceutical stock, oxygen supply, and other Covid aid supplements. District Collectors will ensure their border medical buildings.
Following that, the Public Health Department is doing a study on Corona to track real-time statistics and efficiently carry out preventive measures. It was reported that Coimbatore ESI Hospital has 1000 beds available and that the Government Hospital has more than 100 beds available. Furthermore, there are 24,061 oxygen supply, 2067 metric tonnes oxygen storage systems, and 100% medications in reserve.
Every day, 4000 persons in Tamil Nadu are tested for Corona using RT-PCR. The states were told to enhance Covid testing at today's consultation meeting.
As a result, patients in Tamil Nadu suffering from a cold, sore throat, or cough have been asked to be tested for coronavirus. As a result, attempts have been made to raise the daily corona test from 4 thousand to 11 thousand.
Furthermore, there is no cluster effect in Tamil Nadu. As a result, the general public should not be too alarmed. Concerning a recent fatality caused by Covid, he indicated that the cause was comorbidity, which resulted in death.
He advised those with chronic diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney illness, and heart disease to wear masks in public settings. Despite the fact that face masks are required, the number of corona cases has surged tenfold in the adjoining state of Kerala.
As a result, masks have been made mandatory in all Tamil Nadu hospitals, including government hospitals and primary health care centers, beginning April 1. During an inspection on the 2nd, Mettupalayam Government Hospital in Coimbatore recorded a 100% mask.
"Corona prevention measures are being implemented on the direction of Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister." Notices will also be posted at the houses of anyone affected by the Corona.
This precaution has been taken to prevent them from going out unnecessarily. In international airports, we conduct 2% random testing. Corona patients should be kept isolated for 5-6 days. The Collector will be directed to take security precautions along the Tamil Nadu-Kerala border.
Furthermore, Corona testing is carried out on a continuous basis by holding dedicated camps. "Tamil Nadu is the only state in the country that runs special influenza camps, so the flu is under control," he said.
The consultation meeting was attended by District Collector Krantikumar Pati, Corporation Commissioner Pratap, Deputy Director of District Health Department Aruna, CMCH Dean Dr.Nirmala, and many other authorities.
