Omicron threat: Haryana imposes night curfew from 11 pm till 5 am, gathering of over 200 people banned

“In order to curb the influence of Omicron, it is necessary that people should be made more aware. Special attention should be paid to ensure vaccination is done for everyone. The state health department should complete all its preparations to deal with Covid cases. Wherever necessary, essential arrangements should be ensured. On December 23, more than two lakh people got their second dose of the Covid vaccine. Apart from this, 30,000-32,000 people are being tested daily by the department and the samples of those being found positive are being sent for genome sequencing,” Khattar added.

As per details, at least 2.61 lakh people in Haryana had got their vaccination done on December 23, a day after Haryana made it mandatory for everybody to be fully vaccinated for entry into shopping malls, offices, banks, fuel stations.

Haryana health minister, Anil Vij, said, “Around 2.61 lakh people got their Covid jabs on December 23. This happened after the announcement of the Haryana Government that after January 1, nobody will be allowed entry into any congested place unless he/she has taken two doses of vaccination.”

To further boost the vaccination across the state, Vij said, “All Covid vaccination facilities in Haryana will remain open on holidays also.”
