Get vaccinated, prevent fourth wave: Civil Surgeon

Civil Surgeon Dr SP Singh has appealed to residents to get themselves vaccinated. “From the past few days, cases have seen a surge in a few districts, which is a matter of concern. Everyone should get themselves vaccinated and if some have missed their second dose, they should also get their dose,” said Dr SP Singh.

Vaccination is very important to keep Covid at bay. In addition to this, people should wear mask at public places and maintain distance from each other.
