00:00The virus is a similar kind of COVID virus.

00:03It is not a different virus.

00:05It has been a virus in our country for many years,

00:09even before COVID, and it still exists.

00:12It is an influenza-like virus, which is common in the cold and flu.

00:16There is no need to worry.

00:18As far as hospitals are concerned,

00:20our hospitals are well-equipped in J&K.

00:22Since COVID, we have oxygen generation plants in every hospital.

00:28We have 200 beds.

00:29Every bed has a monitor.

00:30Every bed has oxygen.

00:31We have ventilators.

00:33We can handle all the COVID-like viruses.

00:39We have converted 100% hospitals into COVID hospitals.

00:43We have also converted 50% hospitals into non-COVID hospitals.

00:46As per the number of cases, there is no problem.

00:49There are no new cases in J&K yet.

00:55We are well-equipped.

00:57We have all the equipment.

02:04Don't go out in the crowd.
