BARAMULLA, May 5: Deputy Commissioner Baramulla Dr G N Itoo today issued strict warning to all those who are reluctant to use face masks as a precautionary measure to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 infection.Meanwhile, Government Degree College Baramulla, has been converted into a fully equipped wellness center to treat COVID-19 patients and the administration is delivering dry food packets and necessary items to the deserving at their doorsteps.
In an order Dr Itoo has appealed the people to adopt all the preventive measures especially wearing face masks and said that strict legal action shall be initiated against the violators which can be fine and imprisonment. The order also enjoined upon all the concerned controlling officers and their staff members to attend the offices with full protective gears. Moreover, various executive magistrates and flying squads have been nominated/ constituted to monitor whether masks are being used by the people and take appropriate legal action against the violators.Meanwhile the district administration Baramulla today announced that Indoor Sports Stadium Baramulla near Degree College Baramulla, has been converted into a fully equipped wellness center to treat COVID-19 patients. Dr Itoo, informed that the health centre with capacity of 100 beds has all the requisite facilities to treat the COVID patients. All the COVID-19 patients have been shifted from GMC Baramulla to this newly established Center, he added.
