JAISALMER: Considering the increasing number of cases in rural areas, the Jaisalmer and Barmer district administrations are taking strict preventive measures.
Jaisalmer district collector Ashish Modi is working on opening many isolation centres in rural areas and buildings are being identified for the same.
Modi has directed health workers to monitor and supervise the oxygen levels of Covid patients on hourly basis so that patients can get better care. In Barmer, the district collector has directed to distribute 1,800 medical kits in rural areas every day and conduct door-to-door surveys.
Collector Modi said new isolation centres will come up in rural areas and work has already begun on this front. Apart from this, he is continuously monitoring the situation at district hospital. He visited the Jaisalmer district hospital and made a plan to monitor oxygen levels of Covid patients.
