Jalandhar, May 22-
District Jalandhar has started seeing downward trend in Covid-19 cases due to flattening curve of the pandemic, said Deputy Commissioner Ghanshyam Thori on Saturday while participating in a virtual review meeting presided over by Chief Secretary Vini Mahajan.
The DC stated that administration had placed demand for 100 Amphotericin injections to effectively tackle the surging case of Mucormycosis disease prevailing throughout the country.

The Deputy Commissioner added that as many as 2010 beds in both L-II & L-III facilities across the district are available with oxygen stock for around seven days amid declining this trend. He said that the bed occupancy and oxygen demand is also decreasing daily, which is a positive sign. He stated that now the special emphasis is being laid on this Mucormycosis or black fungus disease besides sensitizing people to strictly follow covid appropriate behaviour to keep virus spread under check.
The DC thanked people of Jalandhar for their cooperation with district administration to tackle this second wave while appealing to them to not lower their guard against the virus as any kind of complacency at this stage can take a heavy toll on all of us.
