DMO has been directed to collect samples of the primary and secondary contacts for Covid-19 tests as per SOP.

Meanwhile to apprise the stakeholders on present Covid-19 situation of the district and also to gather their views regarding future course of action, a virtual meeting was convened by the DC on Wednesday which was attended by Pasighat West MLA Ninong Ering, SP Sumit Jha, DMO Dr. Kaling Dai among others. Sharing his views, MLA Ninong Ering appreciated the efforts of the District Administration and Police in enforcing Covid appropriate behavior including wearing masks. As there is a spike in Covid cases everywhere, there should be no laxity in efforts to curb the spread of Covid-19 and lockdown may be enforced as a last resort, he advised.
