BHUBANESWAR:Doctor’s retirement has been increased to 65 from 62 earlier. This development has come when we are fighting with corona and doctor’s role is very crucial at this juncture. Naveen Patnaik has announced this after thoroughly observing the need of doctors fighting corona from the front. Now doctors and other para-medical staffs are the frontline warriors are mostly sought frontline warriors to fight corona. This announcement has encouraged doctors largely because they are the people whose role is very crucial in making more patient corona free. He has already announced that officers engaged in ESI insurance will also be added to this age bracket for retirement. Now because of corona many doctors and paramedical staffs have lost their lives by helping patients to recover. Hence, these announcements will a mega booster for doctors. Now the figure of corona in the state is very upsetting, totally 18757 are corona positive cases where as 103 people have died so far because of corona and today’s corona figure stands at 647 with 6 new casualties. Anyways these are not good sign, hence, proper care for social distancing and wearing mask is the need of the hour.
At the same time maximum testing must be done to know corona positive cases so that we can isolate them which will contain further spread of corona. State Govt. is putting all effort but it seems there is some disconnect somewhere. As a result we are heading with increasing figures of corona positive cases day after day.
