Narendra Modi gov't needs national policy to curb second wave of COVID: Congress

| @indiablooms | Mar 22, 2021, at 12:01 am

New Delhi/UNI: Expressing concern over the rising number of daily coronavirus cases, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Sunday said that the government has failed to stop the second peak of infection and needs to work under the national policy to control the pandemic.

Singhvi told a press conference at the party headquarters here today that a second wave of Coronavirus cases has begun as claimed by many rating agencies but the government has failed to take any necessary step to curb it.

He said that Covid-19 vaccines have been made in the country but the vaccination process is not fast enough. Not only this, the testing of RT-PCR is being delayed too.

He suggested a national policy should be planned to pace up the inoculation process across the country as the daily cases are increasing rapidly.

In Delhi, 823 cases of COVID-19 were reported on Saturday.

The national capital had not registered a similar surge since September. Similarly, 2,370 cases were reported from Punjab in the last 24 hrs since it recorded a peak last year.
