Six inter-ministerial central teams to assess COVID-19

Union Government has constituted six Inter-Ministerial Central Teams to make an on-spot assessment of the COVID-19 situation, issue necessary directions to State Authorities for its redressal and submit their report to the Centre.

The teams will focus on compliance and implementation of lockdown measures as per guidelines, supply of essential commodities, social distancing, preparedness of the health infrastructure, the safety of health professionals and conditions of the relief camps for labour and poor people.

Violations of lockdown measures have been reported, which pose a serious health hazard to the public and risk for the spread of COVID- 19. There have been incidents of violence against frontline healthcare professionals, complete violations of social distancing norms and movement of vehicles in urban areas.

Home Ministry has urged States and Union Territories to ensure strict compliance and implementation of revised consolidated guidelines on lockdown measures without any dilution to fight COVID-19. In a letter to states, the Ministry observed that certain states are allowing activities not permitted under Home Ministry guidelines.
