While noting that Covid positivity rate is decreasing every day in other states of India, Hiyanglam constituency MLA Dr Radheshyam Yumnam contended that the number of infections in the state is showing no signs of receding due to low vaccination rate and carelessness among the people in taking up preventive measures.
He was speaking while inspecting the mass vaccination programme organised jointly by Primary Health Centre Hiyanglam, Covid Task Force Hiyanglam, Absolute Benefection Club (ABC), Hiyanglam Wabagai Terapishak and Youth Development Club (YDC) at YDC ground.
MLA Radheshyam pointed out that positivity and fatality rate for India decreases everyday because of high vaccination rate.
However, as the vaccination rate is low in Manipur, positivity and fatality fail to decrease in the state.
As such, everyone should get vaccinated so as to prevent from the infectious disease.
Noting that vaccination rate in Hiyanglam A/C is continuously increasing each day, he said that more than 45 per cent of the people above 18 years in the constituency have been vaccinated and is preparing to vaccinate the remaining eligible people within the next few months.
