Rajnandgaon is witnessing a resurgence of COVID-19 cases. The local administration has increased its alert level after three deaths were recorded within the last 20 days. While the deceased had underlying health conditions, the coronavirus infection contributed to their deterioration.
Although there are currently two active COVID-19 cases in the district, the administration is proactively implementing preventative actions due to the potential for increased transmission.
A crucial meeting was held by the district administration, involving officials from the health department, the district hospital, and private healthcare providers. The primary outcome was the decision to create isolated wards within all hospitals specifically for COVID-19 patients, ensuring these wards are adequately resourced.
The public has been urged to comply with established COVID-19 protocols, including mask-wearing, regular hand sanitization, and avoiding crowded environments. The authorities have also indicated that stricter measures could be introduced if the situation escalates further.
