  • Biden signs bill ending Covid-19 national emergency

    Biden signs bill ending Covid-19 national emergency

    [ad_1]

    In a Statement of Administration Policy, the Biden administration said that an abrupt end to the emergency declarations would “create wide-ranging chaos and uncertainty throughout the health care system.”

    Despite this, Biden told Senate Majority Chuck Schumer last month that he did not plan to veto it — marking the second time in recent weeks that the president has signaled opposition to a Republican-sponsored bill, only to later decline to veto it. Last month, Biden told the Senate that he would not veto a GOP-back bill that would repeal changes to the D.C. criminal code, a move that came as a surprise to Democrats.

    Ending the national emergency will end the use of some waivers for federal health programs meant to help health care providers during the height of the pandemic.

    The law Biden signed Monday did not affect the public health emergency, which is still set to expire in May — along with the Trump-era Title 42 border policy. In the Statement of Administration Policy objecting to the GOP bills seeking to end the pandemic emergencies, the White House warned that an abrupt end to the public health emergency and Title 42 would prove particularly problematic, and could “allow thousands of migrants per day into the country immediately without the necessary policies in place.”

    SRINAGAR: There is no need to panic about Covid-19 in J&K and if need arises, appropriate steps will be taken in time, Chief Secretary Arun Kumar Mehta said on Friday.

    While talking to reporters on the side-lines of World Health Day event in Srinagar, Kumar said that there is no need to panic and appropriate steps will be taken as the administration has been very successful in managing the previous waves of Covid-19.

    “People should have complete confidence that whenever need arises all possible steps will be taken. But at the moment there is no need to worry,” he said. “We by and large meet the Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS). We will analyze what are the gaps and very shortly we will complete all the gaps. At present by and large we are very comfortable,” the CS said.

    Bhupinder Kumar Health and Medical Education Secretary, JK, while talking to reporters said that since past few weeks a rising trend of Covid-19 cases has been reported in J&K and around 230 cases are active.  But just 12 are hospitalized across J&K,” he said.

    “As per government guidelines, testing rate has been increased and all patients having symptoms of influenza and acute respiratory distress are being tested. Cases are on rise but hospitalization is not much,” he said.

    He said it is an Omicron variant known as XBB.1.16 that is prevalent in society at present. “Most of the cases in the country are because of this variant,” he said, adding that the genome sequencing lab has been made operational at SKIMS Soura and genome sequencing is now being done here.

    He said that there is no need to panic as the situation in last three years was handled well by theml. “We have a trained staff and hospitals are also very well equipped,” the Secretary Health and Medical Education said.

    He said that mock drills in the hospitals are being conducted to ensure operational readiness for management of Covid with specific focus on oxygen plants, ventilators, logistics and human resources on April 10 and 11 and gaps are also being filled.

    Kumar said that that all persons having symptoms must report as early detection helps in proper management and if it is reported late, then sometimes it leads to difficulties.

    He said that situation is very much under control but people shouldn’t lower guard but follow covid appropriate behaviour. (KNO)
