As the Covid19 situation looks grim, Tripura Chief Minister continues reviewing ground realities and preparedness at District and Sub-divisional level. After Unakoti and North Tripura, Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb has on Sunday reviewed the COVID19 facilities and preparedness in South Tripura and Gomati districts.
Today Deb visited Sabroom, Santirbazar and Belonia under South Tripura District and Chandrapur Covid Centre under Gomati District.

Meanwhile, in the wake of COVID19 pandemic, the state government already initiated multiple plans to improve the healthcare system up to district and sub-division level. The Chief Minister is paying such random visits to different districts to know the ground reality—specially the outcome of such plans.
On Sunday, Deb accompanied by a combined team of administrative and health officials started his visit from the 100-beded Covid Care Centre at Bhuratali Ekalavya Residential School of Sabroom.

Meanwhile, the Chief Minister has passed necessary instructions to the officials concerned so that the Covid-infected patients don’t face any problem during treatment.
Deb reiterated, “there is no need of full lockdown at the present situation. The government will consider lockdown only if suggested by the experts.”
The Chief Minister’s next visit was at the Dedicated Covid Care Centre of Belonia sub-divisional hospital.
He said the Covid situation in South Tripura district was so far under control. He also stated that the government had emphasized on vaccination of maximum number of people at shortest possible time.
