This will reduce unnecessary consumption of oxygen and increase its availability for the needy. He emphasized on the rational use of oxygen and directed to implement the stepdown system effectively.

As the condition improves, oxygen consumption may be reduced by stepping it down to normal.

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that activities which aid spread of infection should be strictly prohibited to save the lives of the people. He said that no more than 10 persons should be allowed in marriage-wedding programs because people tend to remain together for a longer time and the chances of spreading the infection increases rapidly.
