Udupi: As part of COVID control measures in the district, the Udupi district administration will conduct a fever survey, from September 20 to 22.
Udupi Deputy Commissioner Kurma Rao said this during a meeting at his office.
"The Asha and Anganwadi workers will visit every house in the district and collect details about people with fever-like symptoms. Symptomatic people will have to undergo the Covid test. People should cooperate by providing necessary information during the survey," Kurma Rao said.
He directed the officials to test all the primary and secondary contacts, those with symptoms and people with travel history.
"People under home isolation and the primary contacts should not be allowed to go out of the containment zone," he added.
To ensure that Covid patients are not moving out of their house, the district administration has set up a helpline.
"If any Covid positive patient is found out of his house, people can contact the helpline number 96639 57222," the Deputy Commissioner added.
