Centre Sends High-Level Teams to 7 States With Surge in COVID-19 Cases For Assistance

New Delhi: In view of the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases, the Centre on Wednesday deputed high-level multidisciplinary teams to Maharashtra, Kerala, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Punjab, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir for supporting the government in public health measures for effectively tackling the spread of the pandemic.

The three-member multidisciplinary teams are headed by Joint Secretary level officers in the Health Ministry. The teams will work closely with the state administrations and ascertain the cause for the recent surge in the number of COVID-19 cases.

In a letter written by Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan, the affected states have been asked to focus on undertaking aggressive measures to break the chain of transmission and to ensure that RTPCR testing is amplified to flush out hitherto undetected cases from the population, India Today reported.
