FAQ :
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has assured states of a ramped-up supply of oxygen and Remdesivir to meet the increased demand.
The government is importing medical oxygen, ensuring oxygen filling stations operate round the clock, and allowing containers used for nitrogen and argon to be used for oxygen.
Remdesivir production capacity is being ramped up from 36 lakh vials per month to 78 lakh vials per month through rapid clearances for new capacities, stopping exports, and allowing manufacturers in SEZs to sell domestically.
The Finance Minister emphasised the need for adopting micro-containment strategies, rather than widespread lockdowns, in dealing with the second surge of the pandemic.
Industry leaders, represented by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), have provided input that has helped shape the micro-containment strategy, and manufacturers are working to exceed Remdesivir production targets.
