An order of Manipur Health department issued on May 12 stated that all doctors and other health staff of the district hospitals, CHC, PHC, HWC (health and wellness centre) and PHSC must always remain in their places of duty without fail to meet the medical emergencies round the clock.

Non-compliance of the order will be strictly dealt with as per rules, the order stated while asserting that the increasing trend in the spread of COVID-19 infections has become steeper and more widespread all over the state. This has necessitated all the public health facilities to remain alert round the clock to meet the health emergencies, it added.
