Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Government has decided to stop the incentives given to the health workers engaged in COVID related activities.
The Health and Family Welfare department, in a tweet on Friday, said the World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared that COVID-19 is no longer a global health emergency. Besides the state has reported a declining trend in daily cases of COVID infection.
Considering these factors, the government has decided to discontinue the incentives to different categories of manpower for COVID-19 related activities, the department stated.
It may be noted that the WHO on May 5 announced that the COVID was no more a global emergency. The announcement came more than three years after the WHO declaration of the pandemic as a global emergency. In the wake of steady and constant drop in infection rate across the world, the WHO made the latest announcement.
