Speaking at an outdoor review meeting with district and nodal officials on COVID management, he said that being at the centre of North Karnataka, Dharwad district had taken effective steps through a team led by Deputy Commissioner in controlling the pandemic. The team in coordination with all stakeholders has carried out good work by utilising the available medical infrastructure and amenities through continuous efforts, he said and added that it [Dharwad] is among the best in the State. Emphasising that the next two weeks are decisive as the pandemic is spreading to rural areas, Mr. Ravikumar said that now the district administration should focus on villages and immediately shift the affected persons to COVID Care Centres in taluks or hoblis. “There is a need to create COVID task forces at the village level,” he said.
