The Hindu
Focus on increasing vaccinations and testing
Worried about the number of COVID-19 cases being reported in the city every day, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) chief commissioner Gaurav Gupta accompanied by Special Commissioner (Health) P. Rajendra Cholan and senior health officials, interacted with representatives of various residents’ welfare associations (RWAs). With the government allowing vaccinations in health sub-centres, the BBMP will soon get in touch with industries, multinational companies, and apartment complexes. Apartment complexes should tie up with the nearest private medical facility, said Mr. Cholan, and set up a “mini-hospital environment”. Mr. Gupta added that the civic body would once again interact with the heads of the various private medical establishments in this regard. “We will also suggest setting aside a day and time for the vaccination of residents from a particular apartment complex or locality,” he said.
