However, Ravindra Thakare, District Collector asked healthcare machinery to be prepared to handle the second wave of infection. As the Government is thinking of allowing schools and colleges to reopen. In such a situation, the institutions requisitioned for quarantine centres will have to be vacated for academic activities. Hence, the officials concerned should start looking out for alternative arrangements that could be made to quarantine patients.
Thakare was addressing the officials through video-conferencing, on Monday. The District Collector directed to implement a special drive in rural areas of Nagpur district to check health status of patients who have recovered from COVID-19.
