Udupi Deputy Commissioner M. Kurma Rao on Monday ordered a Fever Survey in the district to identify COVID-19 positive patients and ensure their isolation and treatment for the effective containment of the spread of the pandemic. Chairing a meeting on COVID-19 containment measures at the district office, Mr. Rao directed Health Department officials to get ASHAs and anganwadi volunteers visit every household in the district and collect information about those having fever. They should ensure that those having fever undergo COVID-19 test so as to facilitate isolation of people having COVID-19 symptoms and also effective containment of the spread of the disease. He appealed to the general public to cooperate with the administration in conducting the survey so that the district becomes free of the pandemic.
