“There is no need to worry. Most of the eligible population is already vaccinated. Even the state has performed extraordinarily well in the below 18 years age group as well. Around 50 per cent of that category has been already covered with jabs. Besides, we have all the required infrastructures in place. Nevertheless, since the Covid threat still exists. We have to stay alert”, he said.
“It’s time again to maintain physical distance and put on the mask and remain in a hygienic environment”, he said.
