Without taking names, State Health Minister Vishwajit Rane on Saturday slammed Goa MLAs and Ministers for exerting pressure on health department officials and government doctors to prematurely discharge UK returnees from institutional isolation facilities.
Rane said that he had given specific instructions to senior health department officials, including Health Secretary Amit Satija, to strictly follow the SOPs devised for the 979 persons who are in isolation or quarantine facilities after their return from the UK, before the flight ban came into force.
