Dimapur, May 27 (EMN): Nagaland Governor RN Ravi on Wednesday reviewed the preparedness of the state government in the backdrop of the recent Covid-19 positive cases being reported in the state.

An update from Raj Bhavan informed that senior officials, including Chief Secretary Temjen Toy and Additional Chief Secretary Sentiyanger Imchen were present during the review meeting.

The governor emphasised on rigorous contact tracing of all those who came in contact with the Covid-19 positive patients in the last 14 days and quarantining them either at home or institutions depending on their health symptoms.

“Contact tracing and their management is the most crucial preventive protocol against spread of Covid-19. He stressed the need for more BSL labs in the State. He insisted on improving the conditions of all the District Hospitals, which are also the Covid-19 Hospitals,” the press release read.

Ravi praised the frontline warriors – health professionals for their dedication and selfless service to the people and exhorted the senior officials to be in touch with them and be responsive to their legitimate needs and apprehensions, the update said.

He also urged the people of the state to continue observing safety guidelines including social distancing and not to panic, not to stigmatise the Covid-19 patients and be compassionate to them, stating that “they are our own people who have become victims for no fault of theirs.”
