DDCRK constitutes Covid SOP monitoring teams in Srinagar
Srinagar/IBNS: In order to keep strong health surveillance amongst the general public on Covid appropriate behaviour in the summer capital, Divisional Covid 19 Control Room Kashmir (DCCRK ) constituted Covid Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) monitoring teams for monitoring and implementation of preventive health measures in the fight against this dreadful disease.
The teams comprise various levels of officers of line departments viz Naib Tehsildars, Medical Officers from the health department, Police personals, staff from Assistant drug controller Srinagar and volunteers from NDRF
An official spokesperson of DCCRK in a statement said that these monitoring teams are carrying out comprehensive market visits, parks and gardens, roadside vehicles, colleges/universities, government /private nursing homes along with various government/semi-government and private offices in Srinagar city.
He said these teams were framed after it was brought to the notice of the Divisional Administration that the general public is showing signs of complacency in covid appropriate behaviour in all the districts of Kashmir division, which could lead to the resurge of fresh cases of covid 19 infections in the division.
This, he said, has a serious potential in causing the third wave of covid 19 pandemics if timely preventive measured were not followed.
The spokesperson said that 2813 inspections were carried out in Srinagar city and 762 covid specific violations were registered in different areas of the city. He said that during the special drive in conducting Covid Appropriate Behavior in the city
382 face masks were distributed free of cost to the violators, while at the same time an Rs76,800 fine was also imposed on the violators by the Covid SOP monitoring teams.
He said that all the district administrators were directed to keep robust surveillance mechanisms intact in their districts and replicate the Srinagar model for monitoring of CAB in their districts.
He said that the Divisional Administration is again reiterating its appeal to the general population to follow CAB every time when they move outside and requested people, especially the 18-44 years age group, to go for vaccination.
