Telangana Energy Minister G Jagadish Reddy today instructed the concerned health officials to provide Covid-19 vaccines and oxygen to Suryapet Hospital.

During a stocktaking visit to the hospital, where he reviewed the Covid-19 treatment facilities, he instructed officials, including health director G Srinivas Rao and other officials, to procure adequate stocks of Covaxin and Covishield injections for the vaccination program.

He advised both ailing patients and the public to remain courageous in the face of the pandemic, or any other difficulty, and said, "With our mental strength, we can overcome the problem of Covid-19. We must avoid panicking, however, and remain cautious. Do not attend any crowded social gatherings, please.
