Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat slammed the government for the failure of its Covid management policy in view of the death of a 12-year-old child due to the infection.
He urged the State government to treat the unfortunate incident as a “wake up call” and refrain from reopening schools in Goa anytime soon.
“Today’s unfortunate death is a wake up call for all those who are desperate to open schools in Goa. I appeal to all not to play with the lives of the children. I demand that the government must wake up and focus on health care as topmost priority,” Kamat said in a press statement.
He called upon Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to keep aside all other priorities and completely focus on handling and management of Covid pandemic.
Kamat has offered condolences to the family of the young boy and to the families of all those who have succumbed to the infection in the state so far.
