Chandigarh, Aug 8 (UNI) Punjab Health and Family Welfare Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu said the state government has performed far better to curb the spread of Coronavirus as compared to other states which has resulted in lesser loss of lives as compared to them.
Mr Sidhu said under the leadership of Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, various departments of the Punjab Government were united in the war against Corona. Due to tireless efforts being made by the government, Punjab has 3.1 positivity rate of cases which is less than the rest of the country. He said the infection rate was one of the most important criteria set by the World Health Organization to measure the spread of corona.
Describing the statement of Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, Harpal Singh Cheema for adopting the Delhi model as childish and contemptible, the Minister said the LoP should keep his advice to himself as Punjab was in a better position than Delhi.
