The Central and State/UT governments are following the “Test, Track and
Treat” strategy for the effective management of COVID-19 pandemic.
In India, the States/UTs with high case load of COVID-19 are turning their
focus on early identification and effective clinical management of positive
cases to ensure that recovery/million is more than active cases/million. This
shows that while the total number of positive cases might be high but the
recoveries are fast catching up, thereby keeping the active cases low. This has
also ensured that COVID healthcare facilities are not under pressure and are
not stretched.
India has 315.8 recovered cases per million while the active cases per
million in the country is at a low level of 186.3.
States have followed the direction of the Union Ministry of Health and
Family Welfare to substantially increase testing with the deployment of RT-PCR
tests, Rapid Antigen Tests which have helped in early identification of the
cases. The ramped up healthcare infrastructure in the States has resulted in
distribution of the positive cases in different healthcare facilities including
Dedicated COVID Hospitals, COVID Health Care Centres and COVID Care Centres.
This coupled with effective treatment has ensured in keeping the case mortality
low. Ramping up of Dedicated COVID facilities within the public and private
sectors has ensured timely triaging and treatment of the patients.
Along with testing, contact tracing and house to house surveys has been
intensified especially in the containment zones. States have been specifically
advised to ensure that at least 80% of new positive cases have their contacts
traced and quarantined within 72 hours of confirmation of the positive case.
States have developed several mobile apps to keep track of high risk population
including the senior and elderly population, people with co-morbidities,
pregnant women and small children. The involvement of the community, ASHAs and
ANMs at the local government has led to effective surveillance in the community.
