PCB to start door-to-door survey from Tuesday

PUNE: The Pune Cantonment Board (PCB) will launch a week-long door-to-door survey in areas under its limits to identify suspected cases of Covid-19 from Tuesday.
The cantonment board has formed 10 teams comprising doctors, nurses and cantonment staffers for the task. “They will begin the survey in New Modikhana, Modikhana and other congested areas of the cantonment which have recorded maximum cases,” resident medical officer VD Gaikwad said.
“Individuals with high temperature and low oxygen saturation level will undergo antigen test. Those who test positive would be either home isolated or admitted in hospital depending on their health,” he added.
“The survey aims to identify patients at an early stage and treat them,” PCB’s CEO Amit Kumar said.
