The Minister said that due to the coordinated efforts taken under the leadership of Financial Commissioner Atal Dulloo, J&K has been able to limit the spread of this viral disease to a large extent.

“The way the officers of the health department have coordinated their efforts is laudable. All the health institutions in J&K have done a commendable job in limiting the spread of Coronavirus infection. I appreciate whole medical fraternity for the work they have done to treat and control this infectious disease,” said Dr Jitendra Singh while addressing the conference.

The Minister in his interaction with Director SKIMS and Principals of medical colleges also appreciated the efforts of frontline resident doctors and medical officers in efficiently managing the treatment of COVID-19 positive cases.

He also said that the central government has brought an ordinance in the Epidemic act for the security and benefit of the medical fraternity.
