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.

The average death for the past 10 days was 150.
