    \n
  1. The measures taken hitherto have been effective in containing the<\/span> pandemic so<\/span> far.<\/span> However,<\/span> considering<\/span> the<\/span> gravity<\/span> and<\/span> magnitude<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> challenges, which<\/span> are emerging with every passing day, there is <\/span>a <\/span>pressing need to augment and synchronise efforts cutting across various Ministries\/Departments.

  3. During<\/span> the<\/span> deliberations,<\/span> if<\/span> any<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> Empowered<\/span> Groups<\/span> is<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> view<\/span> that<\/span> a particular aspect is not within the domain of that Group and falls within the scope of any other Group(s), they may seek the guidance of the Cabinet<\/span> Secretary.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
