COVID Helpline Team
Guidance operated 24x7 during the pandemic and created two helpline teams for COVID -19 support activities to provide clarification and assistance on issues like truck movement, blockades at district / state borders, movement of groceries and edible items stuck at borders, permissions to operate / do maintenance at factories, vehicle passes, employee passes, shipments stuck at airports, etc. Over 4000 calls were facilitated by the helpline during the first quarter of Financial Year 2021-22, during the peak of the pandemic.

Further, Guidance team set up country specific COVID helpline with Consuls General of various countries including Korea, Denmark, Japan, USA, UK, Taiwan, Singapore and Australia to ensure swift resolution of issues.
Facilitating Supply of Medical Oxygen and Oxygen Concentrators
With the help of Inox Air Products, Indian Railways, and other stakeholders, 4 ISO containers were airlifted from the Netherlands to West Bengal wherein liquid medical oxygen was filled and containers were moved to Tamil Nadu. Many companies and trade bodies came together to donate oxygen concentrators to the state. The US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) generously donated 486 concentrators by airlifting it from Foshan, China for Tamil Nadu. Korean companies that have made Tamil Nadu their home such as Hyundai and Samsung also donated 300+ oxygen concentrators. Licenses were issued swiftly to three companies to convert their industrial 23 oxygen units to produce medical oxygen. This resulted in an additional 15 MT of medical oxygen generation in the state. Oxygen demand increased significantly during the second wave of the COVID pandemic. In order to meet the unprecedented demand for oxygen, the Government of Tamil Nadu has taken special measures to bring in Liquid Medical Oxygen from Chhattisgarh, Odisha, West Bengal and Maharashtra. 5751.99 MT of liquid oxygen was brought by road and rail from the above States.
