Mumbai: To prepare for the third possible Covid wave, Main Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday asked for the assistance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the supply of soul-saving items that are on time and adequately for the treatment of Covid and ask him to frame national policies to stop religious because religious, Social and political events.
Additional liquid medical oxygen supply, limit the cost of cocktail drugs that seem to work against Covid, and increase the supply of vaccines to try to ward off the third wave or reduce their severity to the list of wishes that Thackeray, attend a conference video with Modi along with CMS five other countries, served.
He also suggested establishing a center of excellence for post-covid care.
This will help people who have recovered from Covid, but continue to have inherent health problems.
Maharashtra is projected to need 4,000 million oxygen every day, if the third wave hit.
The state has increased its production to 2,000mt of around 1,200mt and it will be very helpful if the remaining 2,000 MT is given from the closest site – such as Bhilai, Jamnagar or Bellary Steel Plant, said Thackeray.
During the second wave, the country is allocated additional oxygen, but from Odisha and Tamil Nadu leads to delays.
Thackeray also demanded that the center must limit the cost of treatment of monoclonal antibodies — Allegedly Donald Trump — which proved effective but costs between Rs 50,000 and Rs 60,000 per dose.
“Even if 50,000 patients must get drugs in the third wave, will cost Rs 300 Crore.
This center must take steps to reduce prices,” Thackeray said.
The state also looks for an increase in vaccine supply, especially in 10 districts where cases are increasing.
There are 2 beneficiaries that meet the requirements in the districts that need to be vaccinated entirely at the beginning to bring down the spread.
Thackeray briefed Modi about the Covid situation in the state and the steps put to handle the third wave, especially to ensure that industrial production and operations were not affected.
Finally, he expressed concern about the increasing crowd in public places for tourism, and religious or social reasons.
“It doesn’t only happen in Maharashtra, but everywhere.
Tourism Revenge, shopping revenge has caused people to run out of their homes.
The state tries to stop this, but even at the central level, a comprehensive policy is needed,” Thackeray said.
