Visit to rural areas
In rural areas, where the number of Corona patients is higher, all the necessary health facilities will be reviewed by visiting the talukas. The center operators should immediately notify if a patient with Corona-like symptoms is found among the patients being examined in the HRCT centre. The District Collector also reviewed the oxygen supply in the city and district and vaccination in the district.
