Health Dept. appoints assistant programme managers
An assistant programme manager has been appointed on behalf of the Health Department at each international airport in the State to monitor the screening and testing of travellers, Health Minister Ma. Subramanian said.
Shortly after inspecting the screening of passengers at the Chennai international airport on Saturday, he said assistant project managers had been appointed at the international airports in Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai and Tiruchi. They will coordinate with the staff involved in the screening and testing of passengers and supervise works, in the light of the new COVID-19 variant, first detected in South Africa.
The variant, Omicron, has been reported in five countries so far.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
