The epidemic is creating havoc in many countries including China. The government has made RT-PCR test mandatory for passengers coming from China, Thailand, South Korea and Japan.
Significantly, India has seen three waves of Corona. In the second wave that came last year, the increasing cases of corona worsened the condition of the hospitals.

In the new advisory, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan has said that all states should ensure the supply of oxygen. Also, keep the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) ready. He said that at present the cases of corona are less in the country and they are not increasing at present.

According to Health Secretary Bhushan, in the midst of the epidemic, the government has said that all states should keep oxygen concentrators, oxygen cylinders and its infrastructure ready. During this, care should be taken that it should not be reliable and expensive. Do state mock drills, resolve staffing issues and prioritize life support equipment.
