Doctors and officials battling Corona across the country are now looking towards one district in Rajasthan that has imposed lockdown and screened every citizen in the most methodical manner possible. The district is Bhilwara in Rajasthan .
Soon after the district was notified as a hotspot, the administration has completely closed down the district. It also closed the borders and has ruthlessly kept the people confined to their homes. Then, the officials began a massive screening of all the citizens of the district. At least 20 lakh people have been screened for Corona virus. As many as 27 persons were identified and they were immediately sent for quarantine. All those who came in contact with these persons have also been isolated. As a result, there is not a single case since March 31. Nearly 850 teams covered almost 52000 households and screened every person. As many as 6455 persons were quarantined and those kept in home quarantine were monitored using an app.
Of the total 24 patients, two were doctors and 14 were nurses, who treated the Corona positive cases. Only two deaths were reported. One was aged 70 and the other one was 62. Now, all the districts are studying this system and are trying to implement the same in their districts.
