Mysuru: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai opined that the state government is sufficiently prepared to handle the possible third wave of the coronavirus.

In his address after inaugurating the Oxygen Generator and Liquid Medical Oxygen Plant at the JSS Hospital on Sunday, the CM said, action has been initiated to set up new ICU facilities, a ramp-up of oxygen plants, and ensure stocks of medicines.

About 97 percent first dose Covid vaccination has been achieved in the state and 76 percent have been covered with both doses. It is a record compared to other states, he said.

Protection from Covid can be achieved only by 100 percent vaccination. The government has been working relentlessly to achieve it. Tough preventive measures too would be taken. People need to cooperate with the government, IANS reported Bommai as saying.

Appreciating JSS institutions for their services in education, feeding the hungry, and medical care, he said, the government has been successful in managing the Covid spread with cooperation from many organizations and hospitals.

Pontiff of Suttur Mutt Sri Shivarathri Deshikendra Swamiji, Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr. K. Sudhakar, and other dignitaries were present on the occasion.
