AGARTALA, June 8 (TIWN): Tripura former Health Minister, BJP MLA who was sacked from Biplab Deb Govt’s cabinet in allegation of anti-party activity, now has raised voice against alleged wrong techniques of quarantine and testing procedures under Tripura Govt, causing Community-Transmission. In this purpose, the MLA also has written a letter to Chief Minister Biplab Deb asking him to focus on more tests and to keep the returnees in institutional quarantine, till they are tested negative.

After the letter was submitted to CM, on being asked by media, Barman said that the letter was important to write to the Chief Minister who is also holding the Health Ministry, because massive COVID-19 outbreaks are seen everyday and ‘Community Transmission’ may be the cause of further damages. 

He warned, if community transmission work out in chains, then it will become impossible to control the numbers of COVID-19 positive cases in the State.

“I have placed some demands to CM for the sake of state’s welfare. The COVID-19 positive cases are massively increasing. The cases which were only 2 till April 6 and now in June month it has crossed 800”, said Sudip Barman.

“Around 603 Coronavirus cases are still active. Everyday, there are huge numbers of cases reported. The reason behind such a massive outbreak is suspected as Community Transmission, because the Govt has failed to complete everyone’s tests. The asymptomatic patients are spreading the cases as carrier as the Govt has not done any test to maximum returnees. Secondly, they should not be sent to Home Quarantine. Till the tests’ results come, they should be kept in institutional quarantine”, said Sudip Roy Barman.
