The Local Self Government Department has asked local bodies across the State to be ready with a 'transport plan', to ensure adequate transportation facilities for people to and from COVID-tesing centres and other emergencies. The order comes at a time when councillors in various local bodies have been raising concerns about the lack of sufficient transportation for those who want to get tested. The local bodies have to provide transportation to take those who are suspected of having contacted the virus to and from testing centres, to take those who need to be admitted to Domiciliary Care Centres (DCC) or Covid First Line Treatment Centres (CFLTC) or hospitals without delay and to health workers to and from vaccination centres. Any emergency help required by those remaining in home quarantine also needs to be provided.More Related News
