Mumbai / Pune: Heath Minister Rajesh Tope, talking to TV channels in Mumbai, said there was an increasing demand for allowance which was fully vaccinated on local trains and the government was considering it.
“There should be some relaxation and I hope that CM and the Covid Task Force will make the right decision,” said Minister, showing a problem like whether the train has an adequate workforce to check whether passengers are vaccinated.
He showed that air travelers to the country with both vaccine doses are now excluded from presenting a negative RT-PCR report.
Last week, Deputy CM Ajit Pawar said during a review meeting that he would recommend the state government to enable the mall to open with “staff who are fully vaccinated” for “customers who are fully vaccinated”.
The public health department is considering a proposal that allows people who are fully vaccinated to return to work in various malls, restaurants, public transportation networks and factories.
The head of the State Task Force, Dr.
Sanjay Oak, said full vaccination would help decision making by the local government and slowly improve important sectors.
Dr.
Rahul Pandit, a member of other task task, said that even as a health system reads the country, a fully vaccinated individual must be allowed to operate in “bio-bubbles”, with staggering timings, to provide the economy of the necessary momentum.
But the rate of vaccination is shaken.
Pawar said the country was told that the supply would be simplified from July, but the situation did not increase much.
“We are in a constant touch with the union government to supply more doses,” he said.
Health experts say there is now evidence, including data from the latest National Sero survey, which shows this can be the right time to take strong steps towards normal, while maintaining preparedness.
Epidemiologist Dr.
Sanjay Rai, a Professor of Community Medicine in AIIMS, New Delhi, said evidence from all over the world has shown that natural covid infection provides better and longer protection.
“In addition, the reinfection rate is very low if we analyze a breakthrough case after vaccination.
Therefore, we can safely assume that two-thirds of the population are protected like now.
So it is the right time to move towards normal, with monitoring a close situation “State officials said the steps were being taken towards a safe reopening.
The Secretary of the Relief and Rehabilitation of Amex Gupta said they had continued proposals for various economic sectors to the Ministry of Health.
