Ranchi: To prevent the spread of Coronavirus in the rural areas the antigen test drive was on at the panchayat level by the means of door to door survey.
The panchayat task force is reaching at the doors of the people for surveys and tests. On Monday medical screening 1,30,522 people was done and 3341 antigen tests were performed in which 17 people tested positive while 17 are in home isolation.
The Ranchi district administration has set up a communication plan to prevent the spread of Coronavirus in rural areas as part of which two separate teams have been formed at the panchayat level. The teams are identifying the positive people who are later being sent to Covid care centre or home isolation while those with serious symptoms have been directed to be sent to the hospitals in ambulance.
