One such measure is the health survey of households and so far 2.10 lakh households have been surveyed. If there are any complaints of cold, throat pain, phlegm and fever, such people are subjected to test.
The deputy commissioner who interacted with some of the villagers and advised them against roaming out without any valid reasons.
