In Ahmedabad rural area, Asha worker sisters have been provided thermal checking instrument and pulse oximeter. That is, out of 600 to 1000 tests, only 20 to 25 cases appear to be positive. At the same time, the positive proportion of cases has been reduced in the district as young children, pregnant mothers and the elderly have been reverse quarantined.
Sample collection booths have been set up at 6 places in the talukas with more cases in the district.
People are referred to the nearest primary or community health center in case the oximeter shows a ratio below 93.
