પ્રવર્તમાન સંજોગોમાં સહુને ખૂબ સાવચેતી રાખવા અને તદ્દન અનિવાર્ય સંજોગો સિવાય ધર બહાર ન જવા અનુરોધ.☀️

[VIKAS DESAI @psmvikas]

જો ધરમાં *૪૫ વર્ષ થી ૬૦ વર્ષ* ના યુવાન યુવતીઓ હોય તો તાત્કાલીક કોરોના રસીકરણ કરાવી લે. આજથી એમને માટે પણ સેવાઓ ઉપલબ્ધ છે. મોડું કરશો નહીં.

આજતા. ૨૬/૦૩/૨૦૨૧ના સાયન્સ સેન્ટર, સીટી લાઈટ રોડ ખાતે કોવિડ નિયંત્રણ અને વેક્સિનેશન સંદર્ભે સ્વૈચ્છિક સંસ્થાઓ અને વિવિધ સમાજના અગ્રણીઓ સાથે મીટીંગનું આયોજન કર્યું હતું તે સાથે આગામી દિવસોમાં વધુમાં વધુ વ્યક્તિઓ વેકસીનેશન મૂકાવે તે માટે સહયોગ આપવા જણાવ્યું હતું.

માસ્ક પહેરી સામેની વ્યક્તિનું રક્ષણ કરીએ ત્યારે સામે ની/ સાથેની વ્યક્તિ પણ માસ્ક પહેરે આને સરખી રીતે પહેરે એવો આગ્રહ રાખતા અચકાશો નહીં. આખરે આરોગ્ય અને જીંદગીનો સવાલ છે.

[VIKAS DESAI @psmvikas]

Let's as citizens be responsible , no time to blame whatever happened which is now past , time to think what's happening and can happen as the Corona cases are increasing. Act as Citizen Community is the answer.

[VIKAS DESAI @psmvikas]

Let's not add to the stress of system. It's their duty but imagine level of stress and fatigue at their level- it's almost one year they are on their Toes. Accept that community has a responsibility too. Proper use of Mask protects you, your family and others around you.

[VIKAS DESAI @psmvikas]

Resilient Urban Health is Engineering, Enforcement. Education & Engagement of community . Society was Educated about Corona during first transmission cycle, had experience of what , how & when to do and not to do. *It's time to focus and practice the learnings again.*

[Commissioner SMC @CommissionerSMC]

According to a study published by Davies and colleagues in Science in March 2021, study researchers reported that the B.1.1.7 variant had 43–90% higher reproduction numbers than the pre-existing variants. This variant strain is seen in the city. All to take utmost precaution

[Commissioner SMC @CommissionerSMC]

COVID 19 cases are increasing in the city. As mask is the easiest way to protect us from new strain. I appeal you all to avoid gatherings and be safe

[Commissioner SMC @CommissionerSMC]

It all depends on mask compliance, social distancing and hand hygiene and avoidance of gatherings. Maximum cases are of people with travel history, those who have attended social functions and some from schools n colleges too. My appeal again to people to take it very seriously

[Commissioner SMC @CommissionerSMC]

I appeal all to wear properly fitted masks as the cases are rising amidst the new virus strains.

@sethi_vani @epigiri @IFPRI @FIGOHQ @UNICEFIndia How many states are tracking weight gain and Hb% of pregnant women and have SOPs for integrated management of antenatal and postnatal women.

[VIKAS DESAI @psmvikas]

@sethi_vani @epigiri @IFPRI @FIGOHQ @UNICEFIndia Unless it's monitored , managed it is also likely to progress like undernutrition progressed in past. In national program use of body weight was adapted as the simplest doable monitoring indicator . I believe routine monitoring is not research it's use of doable on large scale

[Commissioner SMC @CommissionerSMC]
