Making arrangements for free tests, treatment for corona cases: UP CM

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said that arrangements are being made for free tests and treatment of the people infected with coronavirus in the state.

At present there are more than 2,000 isolation beds in the state, he said, adding the number of such beds will be more than 10,000 within the next two days.

"The number of persons infected with coronavirus was 27 in the state. Eleven people out of them have become completely healthy. The rest of them are stable and their condition is improving rapidly. In order to prevent the increase in the number of coronavirus-infested people, we have to be prepared for campaigns like janata curfew," said the chief minister.

"The janata curfew is a collective fight under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the safety and health of 130 crore citizens of the country," he said.

Speaking to reporters here, he said, "It is necessary for us to observe and maintain social distance and adhere to the doctors' suggestions. I will appeal to each and every citizen to adhere to the janata curfew."
Making an appeal to drug dealers and traders, the chief minister said, "I appeal to the drug dealers and businessmen to discourage hoarding. Do not charge anything more than the MRP. If such a complaint is received from anywhere, the government will take strict action against it."
