COVID-19: "Super-spreaders" are those people, who are likely to spread the infection to a large number of people.
In a bid to contain the spread of coronavirus in Ahmedabad, one of the cities in Gujarat where the number of infection cases is rising, the civic body today said it has decided to once again launch its drive to screen the virus "super-spreaders". "Super-spreaders" are those people, who are likely to spread the infection to a large number of people. People such as vegetable vendors, medicine store owners, grocers, auto-rickshaw drivers, saloon owners, and masons will have to obtain identity cards after getting themselves tested for the virus across 18 urban health centres in the city, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) said. They will be screened through rapid antigen tests and issued COVID-19 negative identity cards, said the civic body in a release.More Related News
