Soon, oximeters in each colony for faster health survey, says CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan

BHOPAL: Chief minister, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, said on Monday that the state government was contemplating the idea to provide oximeter at mohalla and colony level. This would make the task of health survey easier.
Besides, it would enable common people to participate in the efforts towards Coronavirus control, he said.
While reviewing the Coronavirus situation in the state through video conferencing on Monday, he further said that Coronavirus pandemic was coming under control in MP but cautioned the officials that there was no room for laxity.The state government was also thinking of enlisting help of people in ensuring that the norm of social distancing was followed. Volunteers from among the people would be recruited for the purpose.
While referring to popular proverb that the God only helps those who help themselves, the CM said that without community action, the Coronavirus pandemic can't be overcome in the state, country and the world.
Without caution and self-discipline, control on Coronavirus pandemic was not possible, he emphasised.
It is not the responsibility of administration alone to ensure that the norms prescribed for Coronavirus control were followed, it was also responsibility of the people as well, he said. It was imperative that people wear masks, don't spit in public, maintain good hand hygiene and social distancing. Crowd control was not duty of the police and the administration, it can also be effectively done by exercising self-discipline, Chouhan added. He further asked people to avoid large assembly, not hold functions and if it were necessary, keep the guest list small and make the guests observe social distancing.
