Corpn: Screen industrial workers for Covid signs

Coimbatore: Corporation commissioner Raja Gopal Sunkara, who met health workers conducting door-to-door survey to monitor Covid-19 symptoms in the north zone, on Friday instructed them to screen labourers working in industrial units to prevent the spread of infection.
“The details of those showing symptoms should be registered in the appropriate registry. They should be made to undergo Covid-19 test. People who have tested positive should be listed out and informed to the Covid-19 control room and the sanitary officer of the respective zone,” the commissioner said. “Health workers should also create awareness on diseases spread by mosquitoes. Residents should be told to keep surroundings clean by getting rid of objects that can hold water in order to eliminate breeding spaces.”
The commissioner inspected the park at Seenivasa Nagar and instructed the workers maintaining it to check temperature of visitors before letting them in. People without masks should be turned back, he said.
Sunkara interacted with the residents and listened to their grievances. He urged them to dispose of garbage after segregating biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste.
