Dr Kiran: ”Update from my visit to Anna Nagar today:
So in Anna Nagar, I found that many were unmasked or were wearing dirty masks. I gave out some 3 ply surgical masks, and found that they were really happy to receive such a simple thing as a mask. They put them on over their own masks if they had them, and promised they would double mask whenever they went out.
I left hundreds of masks with the team and the warriors. They will be distributing them to everyone in the community. I observed that mass distribution has a big effect on the community. It encourages Covid appropriate behavior and the Warriors are a lot more effective in their work.
The Warriors are doing a wonderful job, going from house to house. They are continuing to register all fever/URI patients and providing supportive therapy. They are rigorously monitoring patients with pulse oxymeter every 6 hours.
As per govt guidelines as well as our own thinking, all patients with symptoms will be considered to have Covid.”
