It involves identifying the Covid-19 patients as the first step. If the patient is having comorbidity conditions, aged or showing moderately higher or severe symptoms, they will be referred to hospitals. Asymptomatic people with the infection will be either home quarantined or put to stay in Covid-19 care centres.
Each and every member in the family and those who came in close contact with the positive cases will be tested. Conducting intensive disinfection drives, door-to-door surveillance of fever or influenza-like-illness, fever camps and distribution of immunity boosters in a coordinated manner also form part of the revised strategy.
