Covid-19 | After remaining impervious to first wave, Rajaji Nagar now records 30 cases
The Hindu
Despite being a densely populated area, community members were able to adopt measures during the first wave that helped ward off the virus.
Rajaji Nagar (Chenkalchoola), one of the housing colonies in the capital that remained almost impervious to COVID-19 during the first wave last year, has recorded some mild cases during the ongoing second wave. On Thursday, as many as 30 residents were shifted to the COVID-19 First Treatment Centre at Samethi in Anayara after testing positive for Covid-19. With more than 1,000 houses crammed into 11.5 acres, social distancing is not easily achieved in the area. Yet, right from the initial days of the pandemic, a group of youth from the locality joined hands with the civic authorities to create awareness and take measures to ward off the virus.
