Given the exponential rise in COVID-19 cases and sample load, the State will adapt a syndromic approach to COVID-19. Under this, active case search would be taken up through house-to-house visits and screening/triaging would be taken up at Interim COVID-19 Care Centres (ICCC). All persons with suspected symptoms approaching screening centres/ICCC may not be subjected to RT-PCR testing as all syndromic cases are considered as COVID-19 unless otherwise provided. In a circular issued on May 13, the Director of Public Health and Preventive Medicine said that the positivity rate for the past one week was 15.9, the highest so far. The average death for the past 10 days was 150.More Related News
