The Odisha government is in a position to deal with any scenario due to a resurgence of the coronavirus in the state, the state’s fitness minister, Naba Kishore Das, said on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters about Odisha’s preparation for the Omicron subvariant BF. 7 wreaking havoc in some countries, Mr. Das said he held a review assembly on the day on surveillance and testing.
“If there’s a sudden resurgence of Covid, it’s not about having a plan A or a plan B. We are ready under the competent leadership of Naveen Patnaik. . . Our government has already been praised for its handling of the pandemic and for offering oxygen to all medical schools, adding MKCG, VIMSAR and SCB Medical College, in connection with the availability of 1, five oxygen beds and five intensive care beds,” the minister said.
