Ranchi: Amid the surge in Covid-19 cases and mounting casualties in the state, chief minister Hemant Soren on Thursday said his government will take a final decision on more restrictions and cancellation of the state board examinations on Friday.
After returning to Ranchi following marathon bypoll campaigns in Madhupur on Thursday, Soren held a high-level meeting at his official residence to take stock of the Covid-19 situation.
On the pendency of test reports, Soren said his government has decided to set up six RT-PCR labs in six districts and procure two COBAS machines (automated high-volume testing machine for Covid-19 virus) on a priority basis. The move follows complaints from people who said they have been facing delay in the recent week in getting their test reports. Health experts have said the delay in providing reports was one of the reasons for the spurt in cases.
