All COVID-19 patients will be shifted to COVID-19 Care Centres and only in exceptional circumstances the local authorities will allow the infected people under home isolation, said Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra here on Wednesday. Chairing a virtual meeting with officials at the district, taluk and panchayats levels, Dr. Rajendra said: “The ward-level/ village-level task force has been given the discretionary power of allowing home isolation in exceptional circumstances,” he said. The members of ward-level and village level COVID-19 task force were asked to actively involve themselves in preventing spread of COVID-19. Apart from ensuring neighbourhood watch to ensure COVID-19 infected people do not roam around, the task force members were asked to make sure that family members of the infected persons get ration, milk and other essential items every day. They were also asked to keep track of vaccination in their areas and ensure that all get two doses of vaccine at the earliest.
