150 beds are kept ready for patients
The health department has set up more number of fever clinics and erected tin sheets on some streets, which had a higher number of COVID-19 cases here on Thursday.
The city health officer Lakshiya Varna and her team of health inspectors declared some streets (or stretches) in Nagal Nagar, Muniappan Temple Lane, Round Road, Narayana Das Nagar, Rajiv Gandhi Nagar as containment zones.
Tin sheets were installed as a barricade to prevent residents from moving out and ensure that outsiders or unauthorised persons did not go inside these zones as a precautionary measure.
The officers disinfected the streets and referred positive patients to get admitted in government or private hospitals. Persons, who were asymptomatic but had symptoms were advised to go for self-isolation in their dwellings.
