MOHALI: The
Mohali administration will conduct extensive sampling of school teachers, supporting staff and
children in the wake of the rising number of Covid-19 cases in the district, said deputy commissioner
Girish Dayalan.
He said teams have been constituted under the supervision of the sub-divisional magistrates (SDMs) supported by the deputy superintendents of police (DSPs) and other staff to conduct the sampling activity in their respective jurisdictions.
Subdivision-wise schedule has been put in place to cover the targeted locations like housing societies, service industries like L&T, government employees, school teachers, staff and children, to increase the contact tracing coverage.
Dayalan said, “Orders have been issued to conduct extensive sampling. The teams under the supervision of SDMs will also conduct contact tracing of the positive patients found during the sampling.”
He said the vaccination drive has also been intensified in the district as SDM Mohali Jagdeep Sehgal informed that two static and two mobile teams have been deployed on Saturday for vaccinations of government employees, industrial labours at L&T, and public.
