S. A. S. Nagar, May 14, 2020: The District Magistrate, Mr. Girish Dayalan has ordered a strong mechanism to be put in place in order to check the unauthorized entry of persons and vehicles into the District from the other states. It has been decided to screen all such people to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Furthermore, the Sarpanch and the Numberdars of the villages in the District would inform the concerned SDM/Sector Officer or Chief Nodal Officer, about such persons as and when they reach their villages. In case of Municipal Committees/Municipal Corporations, the Municipal Councillors or Municipal Commissioners and the Executive Officer concerned would inform the SDM/Sector Officer or the above mentioned Nodal Officer.
As and when such a report is received by the SDM/Sector Officer or Chief Nodal Officer, the Rapid Response Team (RRT) of the sector, in which the area falls, should be activated and the medical screening of such persons should be ensured. The Civil Surgeons would make sure that the RRTs intimate the concerned SMO and District Control Room about any person who is found symptomatic and such a person should be got tested immediately and the protocol of the Health Department must be followed.
The Supervisory Officer of the area and the Surveillance Officer would also ensure that all such persons follow the protocol issued by the Health Department from time to time.
The data of all such persons who have reached the villages, towns or cities by sneaking in through the unauthorized entry points, must be shared by the Chief Nodal Officer with the District Control Room/State Control Room and by the Civil Surgeons with the IDSP in the office of the DHS.
