Ranchi: The spread of Covid-19 in Jharkhand’s rural areas has been negligible during the ongoing second wave contrary to the fears that the virus has made inroads into the remote places infecting scores of villagers, a state government survey has found.
The Intensive Public Health Survey (IPHS) of the health department ended on Saturday and was carried out from May 25 using Rapid Antigen Test kits.
The virus had wreaked havoc in the state throughout April with the daily average cases being reported in four-digit figures (new cases) and triple-digit figures (deaths). The majority of the hospitals in the state’s urban centres virtually ran out of beds, triggering fears of a rapid spread of the virus in the rural areas. Concerned over the situation, the government rolled out a mega door-to-door health survey in the rural areas coupled with rapid antigen testing for early detection and treatment.
