Government will conduct a gap assessment of private hospitals with pediatrics facilities in order to identify infrastructural shortcomings of the healthcare setups and provide oxygen concentrators on rent to the hospitals for tackling a possible third wave of Covid-19.

The districts will have to prepare a detailed report on the number of hospitals providing pediatrics facilities, whether they have separate Covid wards or not and whether the hospitals have dedicated Pediatrics Intensive Care Units (PICUs).

The State will also vaccinate truck drivers, helpers and labourers engaged in transportation of goods between India and Bangladesh via road on a priority basis following a directive from the Ministry of External Affairs.
