Amid the worsening COVID-19 situation, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said that there is no point in debating whether COVID-related deaths are more or less and all attention should be focused on the health of the people.

Speaking to mediapersons on Monday, Khattar said: "Jis prakaar ka sankat (COVID-19) aaya hai, humko data ke saath nahi khelna hai. Logo ka swaasthy kaise theek ho, kaise hum unko raahat pahucha sake, saara dhyaan udhar hona chahiye. (In this type of crisis, we should not play with the data. All attention should be focussed on how to help people recover to good health and how to provide relief to them)."
