“Much has been done by the state authorities but much needs to be done. In order to avoid any catastrophe, authorities must ensure people follow rules, such as wearing masks. Keep people well informed about new variants and its symptoms, treatment and contact details of hospitals,” said Justice Trivedi, while reading out the order. The bench asked the government to make sure all designated COVID-19 hospitals display and report real time data with regard to the availability of beds, medicines and injections on their web portals. “To avoid possible surge in the cases, which may occur due to unknown variants, the state must procure sufficient vaccine doses for better vaccination coverage.
State must provide doorstep vaccination to the disabled, aged and underprivileged citizens,” the bench ordered. It said since there are apprehensions that the third wave will affect children the most, appropriate infrastructure for their treatment must be created, while vaccination drive must be accelerated for children below 18 years. It asked the state government to commission PSA (pressure swing absorption) oxygen plants at all levels at the earliest considering the past experience. Stressing on strengthening the rural health infrastructure, the bench further asked the government to recruit doctors, nurses and other medical staff on a permanent basis at the earliest.
