New Delhi, Aug 28 (IANS): The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Saturday extended the existing Covid-19 enforcement of containment measures till September 30 and asked the state governments and union territory administrations to strictly follow the earlier directions issued by the MHA and Union Health & Family welfare.

In an order issued by the Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla Saturday, the Ministry said, "In the exercise of powers, conferred under the Disaster Management Act, 2005, the undersigned hereby directs that the order of the Ministry of Home Affairs to ensure compliance to the containment measures for Covid-19, as conveyed vide Ministry of Health & Family Welfare will remain in force up to 30th September, 2021."

Noting that the overall pandemic situation at the national level now appears to be largely stable, except for the localised spread of virus in few states, Bhalla said, "The total number of active cases and high case positivity in some districts continue to remain a matter of concern".

In a separate communication with states and UTs, he noted that the weekly enforcement data received from across the country with regard to wearing face masks in public, maintaining social distancing norms and imposition of fines indicate a downward trend, but asked the state governments and UT administrations to augment their efforts for effectively checking transmission of the disease.

Bhalla also directed state administration to fix up responsibility of the district officials if any failures occure in effective enforcement of Covid-19 appropriate behaviour.

The Union Home Secretary also said that the states and UTs need to take suitable measures to avoid large gatherings during the coming festive seasons and if required, impose local restrictions with a view to curb such large gatherings.

"We need to continue our focus on the five-fold strategy -- test, track, treat, vaccination and adherence to Covid appropriate behaviour", he added.

Noting that the country has made a significant progress in vaccination, Bhalla also asked the states and the UTs to continue their vaccination programmes so as to inoculate the maximum number of eligible persons and also to ensure that areas having no virus or low virus transmission are adequately protected by increasing testing and other surveillance measures.

    All these elite and communist chinese RTPCR tests and Vaccine Karma? and All these waves other than initial outbreak are vaccines Karma? First time virus may be deliberately leaked by communist chinese planned by global elites? (Event201 simulation). After that using so called vaccine for this virus with live adeno viruses in it (covishield, sputnik, J&J ) and virus replicating in the body in the name of creating antibodies, using mRNA technology ( pfizer and moderna) for generating in the body and spreading different strains around the world ? And this murky RTPCR test which detects past present and future non harmful corona viruses also common viral cold and flu ? Now if one says virus not coming under control during normal cold rainy season or winter ? does it make sense? That to These RTPCR can be manipulated, higher the CT value, higher will be false positives or these if kept sensitivity high dead virus, fragment of virus, will it not show as Positive or more number of positive cases with no symptomes?........... This is all elites, communist chinese and global liberal leaders fooling common people to take decimating vaccines? and same time with lockdowns bringing economy down push common people into desperation? or Following communists' ideology of creating artificial food shortage for control and dictatorship for their downsized New World Order ?
