A multipronged strategy that involved setting up of macro containment zones, door-to-door survey and daily monitoring of cases through youth committees helped contain the spread of deadly COVID-19 in the villages of Palwal, a district with predominantly rural population.
With the surge in cases of infection in mid-April in the district, inadequate health infrastructure with just 350 oxygen beds was the biggest challenge for the authorities. “Therefore, the strategy was to contain the spread. We had meetings with the market associations and persuaded them to shut the shops on Sundays to prevent overcrowding and facilitate sanitisation. It worked wonders,” said Deputy Commissioner Naresh Narwal.
