Sir,
As you are well aware that the second wave of Corona virus has hit the country. This is an alarming stage that the number of Corona positive cases are reaching about 3 lakhs. The new variant is highly infectious and effecting young people also. There is acute shortage of beds, ICH beds, Oxygen and ventilators in most of the hospitals throughout the country.
Mostly Central Government offices are open and except Ministries and Directorates, everywhere officials are being called on duty in full strengh. Despite all precautions being taken by the employees, most of them are being infected.
At present most of the Hospitals throughout country are full with the patient of Corona and it has become very difficult to get admission in Hospitals.
In such circumstances it is requested to kindly cause necessary instructions to all the Secretaries and Heads of the Departments of Central Govt employees.
