CBK Mohanty, Director of the Directorate of Medical Education & Training (DMET) in Odisha informed that the process of completely unlocking Odisha should be done in phased manner and not in one go.
According to the reports, CBK Mohanty said “Unlock process should be carried out in a staggered way or in step-wise manner. Therefore, it is not possible to completely unlock the state in one go. We are reviewing the situation everyday and based on the positivity rate on the deciding day, unlocking announcements will be made.”
He further added “The relaxations in Covid-19 norms will be taken after taking into consideration the virus transmission, case load and people’s adherence to Covid protocols. However, keeping in view the number of cases reported everyday in some districts, my personal opinion is that the restrictions should be there in force for few more days as people are not following Covid guidelines properly.”
While the announcement on the next phase of Covid19 restrictions and relaxations is expected to come on July 31, mohanty further added that as per the experts predictions the third wave can possibly come between August and October.
