The National Technical Advisory Committee on Covid-19 has made four recommendations to control the spread of the epidemic coronavirus. The recommendations were made in a press release signed by committee chairman Prof Mohammad Sahidullah on Friday (January 7th).

Four recommendations have been adopted at the 50th meeting of the National Technical Advisory Committee on Covid-19, the statement said. The recommendations are-

1. Infection with Covid-19 is on the rise in neighboring countries, including India. Infection is also on the rise in our country. The government has already announced various programs to control the infection. The National Technical Advisory Committee has emphasized the implementation of the program. If necessary, the committee recommends legal action such as mobile courts to ensure the implementation of the program.

All steps must be taken to ensure 100% proper wearing of masks, keeping hands clean, and ensuring social distance. Hand washing should be arranged again in different places.

In order to ensure social distance, all social (wedding ceremonies, fairs, etc.), religious (waz mahfil) and political gatherings should be stopped at this time. Meetings/workshops need to be arranged online. The Advisory Committee emphasizes the importance of ensuring hygiene in educational institutions and regular monitoring of infections in their respective educational institutions.

2. Everyone, including students, needs to be brought under vaccination.

3. Screening, quarantine and isolation are strongly recommended at all points of entry.

4. The committee recommends that hospital preparations, especially adequate general and ICU beds, and adequate oxygen supply be provided to deal with the spread of infection.
