He requested the Union health minister the reports of samples sent by the state government for investigation should be sent soon so that new strains can be detected and treated accordingly.
Along with this, Vij said that if a new protocol for treatment has been prepared by the Central government, then it should also be shared with the states soon.
The Union minister said states will have to take concrete steps to control Covid-19 and follow the protocol properly. For this, masks, social distancing and all other guidelines have to be strictly adhered to.
Earlier, during a meeting chaired by Vij, he directed the officers connected with the health services of the state to start Covid-19 hospitals again in the state as per the requirement.
