The Hindu
Aim is to identify people with COVID-19 symptoms and treat them early using initiatives such as COVID-19 Mitras
For early identification of COVID-19 infections, an extensive door-to-door survey was launched across 65 wards of Mysuru city on Wednesday. With Mysuru reporting the State’s highest test positivity rate and rising cases continuing to bother the authorities, the Mysuru City Corporation has now resolved to screen people in every household coming under its limits in a bid to identify symptoms and treat them early, giving no scope for hospitalisation. The ASHAs of the Health Department had been roped in for the task and the MCC hopes to cover all households in 65 wards in the next 15-20 days.More Related News
Aasheesh Pittie says birdwatching is not very unlike hunting, except that nothing is killed. “You track… you want to follow the bird… see it,” he says about this activity that he has pursued for nearly fifty years. Pittie, the editor of the ornithological journal Indian Birds, author of many classic reference books about birds and most recently, a collection of bird essays titled The Living Air: Pleasures of Birds and Birdwatching, was speaking at an event organised by the Archives of the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS).
