Advisory for Human
Resource Management of COVID-19
India reported its 1st case of COVID-19 on 30th January, 2020. It was a travel related
case from Wuhan, China. Since then (as on 29th March, 2020), 979 confirmed cases and 25 deaths have been
reported from 27 States/UTs. Although
there is no evidence
to widespread community
transmission, 20 existing and 22 potential hotspots have
been
identified.
The containment measures to break the
cycle of transmission and clinical management of those affected would
require large human resource (HR).
