HT Image In a recent letter to deputy commissioners concerned, additional chief health secretary Arun Kumar Singh has also directed to intensify contact tracing exercise and get people coming in direct or indirect contact of a positive patient tested within 24 hours. “The DCs may take a decision for authorization of home isolation only on case to case basis after due application of mind, fully satisfying themselves about the justification for such permission and taking into account concerns for public health and infection control in the districts.” According to Singh, shifting patients from home isolation to facility isolation will most likely discourage many super spreaders from travel. It will also lead to better treatment of such patients and keep Covid-19 facilities ready as well as prepare for any eventuality in the near future, he said Permanent RAT booths at airports, railway stations, bus terminals In yet another direction, the health department asked the DCs to set up permanent rapid antigen test booths at all airports, railway stations and bus terminals.
