To monitor the situation closely and enforce safety protocols, Rajasthan's Medical and Health Minister, Gajendra Singh Khinwasar, held a high-level meeting with department officials on Tuesday. Emphasizing the need for caution, the Minister advised vulnerable groups, including the elderly, pregnant women, individuals with serious illnesses, and children, to take extra precautions.
During the meeting, essential directions were issued to strengthen preventive measures and ensure medical preparedness. Department officials were directed to ensure that diagnostic and treatment facilities remain accessible and active across the state. As reported by medical experts, while the situation is under control, ongoing monitoring is crucial.
Gayatri Rathore, Principal Government Secretary of the Department of Medicine and Health, stressed the importance of ensuring the full functionality of oxygen plants across the state.
