- 3 years ago
The Supreme Court has asked the central government to start preparing for the third wave of Covid-19, saying that it is important to create buffer stock to prevent panic among the public.
During a hearing on the supply of oxygen to Delhi, the SC asked the Centre to devise a pan-India approach to prepare for the third wave of coronavirus.
The SC added that the basis for the allocation of oxygen could be reassessed from the audit before the third wave strikes India.
“Prepare today to handle stage 3 of Covid. Children may be affected during the third wave, ensure vaccination of children. Bolster your infrastructure to deal with the third wave, rope in Neet aspirants and nurses,” the Supreme Court told the Centre.
