But the state cannot be locked down permanently to control spread of infection. The unlock process must be started gradually from June 1. Cent percent implementation of an effective strategy will have to be ensured. Cases are not being reported in single digit also in a few districts of the state, while on the other hand the number of cases is still high in many districts. In this case, we have to create an area-specific strategy. The districts with high infection wards and villages will have to be marked as hot spots. Intensive monitoring should be ensured by marking these areas as micro-containment areas. Campaign must continue for intensive testing. Corona infected must be home isolated. Such persons should not mingle with other family members. It is important to follow these guidelines. Chief Minister Chouhan has told the ministers and officers in-charge to ensure micro-planning in their respective areas and monitor them.
Testing must be continued
Chief Minister Chouhan said that tests should continue to be conducted where there is even a single positive case of Corona. Intensive activities should be conducted for testing. Mobile testing arrangements have been made in some districts. This is a good experiment, which other districts can also follow as needed.
Kill-Corona campaign will continue
Chief Minister Chouhan said that the Kill-Corona campaign should be continued. The third campaign will be completed on May 24, following which the 4th Kill-Corona campaign will be launched. Every person affected by a cold, cough, should be identified and provided with a medical kit immediately. Treatment should be arranged as needed. There should be no delay in identifying the symptoms of Corona and starting treatment. Corona patients admitted to hospitals should be given the best treatment. Every possible effort must be made way to save patients.
