NEW DELHI: As scores of migrant workers move back to villages after losing their livelihood due to the ongoing lockdown, respective state governments have decided to screen them for Covid-19.
State governments on Saturday issued orders to district magistrates, commissioners, police and health departments to make arrangements for their safe passage to their respective districts and ensure they are tested for any possible coronavirus infection.
According to the order, the authorities have also asked the police and state health departments to make a village-wise list of the entrants and arrange for their isolation if required.
