QUEPEM:
In a bid to give respite to the people of Quepem taluka who have to travel all the way to Margao for COVID treatment, the Government has started a 50-bedded hospital COVID Care Centre at Government College hall, Quepem.
The 50 bedded hospital with Oxygen was started at Quepem today, Dy Chief Minister Babu Kavlekar said.
He said that despite best efforts we are lagging behind because the pandemic second wave has taken everybody by surprise which has resulted in loss of lives.
He said the government is planning to set up step up hospitals in in every taluka.
He said despite so much of awareness people are still acting irresponsible.
“We have to start from ourselves. People still do not know the seriousness. We cannot say the responsibility lies with government or doctors only,” he says.
He says that criticising government will not help.
“Everybody has to follow rules. You will have enough time to criticise government but take care for now and follow rules. Do not create confusion,” he said.
Kavlekar further said that he would not be celebrating my birthday today, on Friday due to COVID pandemic.
“Instead of wishing me they should help people who are sacrificing their lives for saving people in this pandemic times,” he stated.
