Day before yesterday, the first year classes for MBBS and BDS students have started in the state of Tamil Nadu. At the Madras Medical College or MMC in Chennai, introductory classes took place for the first year students.
The health secretary of Tamil Nadu, Mr. J. Radhakrishnan caught the attention of many when he released a handbook on the introductory classes. The handbook was distributed to all the first year students. Dean of MMC, Dr. Theranirajan and DME Mr. Narayana Babu was also present during the introductory class.
Mr. J. Radhakrishnan, health secretary, expressed his thoughts. He spoke about how there were 6658 students who got enrolled in government as well as in the private medical colleges in this year. He threw light on how strict action would be taken against those private medical colleges that demand more fees than those that were set by the government. Contact number has been announced to make complaints regarding the extra fee amount. He then pointed out that the people belonging to Tamil Nadu have been following the Covid-19 protocols well and due to this the infection has been brought under control now.
Information collected is that out of 130,000 beds that were allotted for Corona affected patients just 2800 were full and rest vacant. The number of patients taking treatment for Coronavirus under ICU has dropped to 440.Point is that in the future there would be more relaxations that would come into effect and the people must not let their guards down and they must follow the guidelines for a few months. It is noteworthy that 1.13crores people have not been administered with a second dose in TN and more than 40lakhs above the age of 18 have not even taken one dose also. People are still having fears about getting vaccinated.
In the next 15 days, surveys would be conducted and unnecessary Covid care centres would be reduced gradually. Those who have been working at these centres would be utilised for various other works soon. The World Health Organisation or WHO had mentioned that the Coronavirus infection has not been eradicated but has been controlled only.
