Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik advised the State administration to remain vigilant and continue awareness programmes while reviewing the Covid-19 situation in the State through video conferencing.
According to the official reports, CM Patnaik stated that while the number of active Covid cases in the State remains stagnant, there has been a reduction in new Covid cases. There has been not much pressure on hospitals during the third wave, but this should not be point for self-satisfaction.

He also advised to keep the awareness programmes going with the active cooperation of Mission Shakti groups. He further advised the police to be especially careful to ensure that people strictly follow Covid safety regulations.
