"Provision of oxygen, vaccines and their logistics to people affected by coronavirus is being ensured, given the recent surge in cases of #COVID19 pandemic across the country," #NirmalaSitharaman said in an interaction with industry leaders from #PHDCCI
The Prime Minister himself is monitoring the situation with eminent doctors and vaccine manufacturers: #NirmalaSitharaman
For oxygen supply, the government is identifying idle manufacturing capacities to match the demand and supply in the country, she said, stressing that the way to tackle the current situation is through micro containment zones 'so that life and livelihood can be protected': FM
The import of #vaccines, certified by international bodies has been allowed; support is being extended to manufacturers by way of giving advances and vaccination drive against coronavirus has been allowed for people aged 18 years and above from 1st May 2021: FM
The government must extend timelines for compliances under various corporate and taxation laws, industry leaders urged #NirmalaSitharaman, just like it had done after the national lockdown in March 2020.
The Centre had acted swiftly last year and extended the timelines for compliances under various laws and the same steps and support measures are required this year also: #PHDCCI president Sanjay Aggarwal.
In an appeal to corporate leaders to help the government battle the second wave of #COVID19, Corporate Affairs Secretary Rajesh Verma has urged them to support efforts to fulfill the rising hospitalisation needs of patients.
Citing the example of temporary #COVID19 care facilities set up by #DRDO, he suggested companies can do the same in tandem with States and even consider using their vacant office premises or buildings for the same given that most employees are working from home.
