Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Thursday directed officials concerned to focus on administration of booster dose to elderly people and frontline workers.
During a review meeting of Covid situation in the state, Patnaik asked the administration to remain cautious and carry on Covid awareness programmes across the state with active cooperation of Mission Shakti groups.
