All in Meghalaya are ‘category A patients’ until tested: Govt

Shillong, Jun 4 (UNI) The Meghalaya government on Thursday said that everyone in the State shall be treated as Category ‘A’ patients unless they are tested on a continuous basis, which implies living with the assumption that every person could be an asymptomatic, mobile carrier of the Covid-19 virus, with a probability of transmitting the virus to others unknowingly.
“By assuming that everybody is an asymptomatic person, people will be more cautious and responsible for their actions and thus help in reducing the risk of community transmission,” Commissioner and Health Secretary, P. Sampath Kumar said while listing four ‘Cardinal Principles’ of behavioural change, testing, isolation and training.
“Everyone shall follow the three commandments (non-negotiables): (i) compulsorily wearing a mask, (ii) practicing hand-hygiene (frequently washing hands with soap and water and/or using hand sanitizer) and (iii) maintaining physical social distancing at all times both in their personal space and work environment. A gradual but mandatory change in behaviour is required in this regard. The aim is for every person in the State to be able to combat the virus effectively,” he said.
