Chief Secretary P. Ravi Kumar has directed officers of Hassan district administration to conduct house surveys to look for people with symptoms and also carry out extensive tests to avoid the spread of COVID-19. He held a meeting of officers in Hassan on Tuesday. Considering the increase in the number of positive cases in rural areas, the Chief Secretary said that the officers should constitute village-level teams to tackle the situation and put them into action within a week. Besides the 3,000 RT-PCR tests every day, 1,000 Rapid Antigen Tests should be conducted, he said. All the infected people should be shifted to the nearest COVID-19 Care Centres or hospitals. “Within the next 15 days, the situation in the district should be brought under control,” the officer said.More Related News
