The high rate of infection among healthcare workers needs to be attended on priority, the minister said As covid-19 cases rise unabated in the national capital, Union health minister Harsh Vardhan on Thursday advised the Delhi government to ramp up testing, surveillance, contact tracing and stringent containment and perimeter control.
He was chairing a meeting via video conferencing to review the preparedness for prevention and control in Delhi. “As all districts of union territory of Delhi are now affected by covid-19, the rising cases, high positivity rates and low testing levels in many districts are worrisome," he said.
