A review meeting with senior officers who were assigned to all districts of the State to review the management of COVID-19 was held with Principal Commissioner Home, Abhijit Sinha, IAS at the Secretariat Conference Hall on 26th August 2021. The major concern for the Officers who were assigned to various Districts was the low turnout for vaccinations. They viewed that the main challenge in achieving vaccinations was due to vaccine hesitancy in the minds of the people. It was observed that awareness campaign on the COVID vaccines needs to be boosted especially in the rural areas. Further there is a need to sensitize community leaders, NGOs, GBs and Faith based organizations should be done at the earliest. It was also suggested that misinformation and fake news needs to be addressed rationally and logically while write ups or videos in local dialects countering the viral fake news should be prepared and disseminated to the people. The Officers gave a brief update on the situation of their assigned Districts and actions suggested to improve the overall management of COVID-19 throughout the State. The State Government seeing the need to be prepared for any eventuality of a third wave has decided to continue putting stress on COVID Testing, vaccination coverage and strengthening of healthcare infrastructure in the districts.
