NEW DELHI - An asymptomatic doctor, along with his team, go on to see more than 6,000 patients before he falls sick with Covid-19 - this could have easily spelt disaster for Bhilwara, a small city in the state of Rajasthan. In fact, it nearly did.
A potential surge in the number of positive cases has been preempted and and only one fresh case was reported on Thursday from the district since April 2. Success in Bhilwara has, however, not come easy. It began with a curfew that was imposed on March 20 across the district with entry points sealed. Containment zones were created around spots that reported positive cases and no movement was allowed within these zones. These areas were also disinfected on a daily basis.
“Efforts are also underway to ramp up testing, with more than 3,750 tests conducted so far. A lab has also been set up in the district this week so that samples do not need to be transported to the state’s capital, Jaipur,” said Mr Bhatt.
