Case Study

Project Summary

Being the capital city it initially faced the COVID-19 challenge in influx of foreigners, NRIs and business travellers. It created a challenging situation as the speed of transmission, contact tracing, facilities etc were completely unknown to anyone. As time passed by, screening guidelines started becoming stricter; new infrastructure was created; quarantine and isolation centers were identified; and, availability of PPEs and other gears were ensured. 

“We are tracing and testing all high risk contacts and if found positive, appropriate measures are being taken. We have increased the number of testing in last few weeks,” says B M Mishra, District Magistrate, District Administration, South Delhi. 

The motto of District Administration, South Delhi is defined as ScoPE, as follows: 

  • “Surveillance and Social Distancing” is the key 
  • Collaborative effort of doctors, government bodies, Police, NGOs, volunteers 
  • People’s awareness through IEC, media
  • Electronic communication and planning – developing and using digital platforms

The very first step that was taken is to prevent disruptions in food and ration supply chains. It roped in volunteers, food suppliers set up control room and identified needy to whom the food and ration was directly delivered that their doorstep, while maintaining social distancing. “We have divided the area under 70 clusters and each has been assigned to an individual team of officers to take care of their respective areas ensuring uninterrupted essential services,” said Mishra. 

Next, it set up a contact tracing chain involving different hospitals, testing labs, private persons etc to report on positive patients. This was verified by an appointed District Surveillance Officer who happened to be a doctor. Contact tracing reports were generated on a daily basis and action taken – whether quarantine, hospitalisation or isolation. This way high risk cases to low risk contacts were identified. 

Anything of this nature requires maintaining constant contact with people on general awareness and guiding them with requisite advisories to avoid panic. District Administration, South Delhi took to social media with awareness campaign on social distancing, home quarantine and isolation, made appeals through mainline media and the District Magistrate held open online sessions with people. 

Surveillance is an important part of handling the pandemic. District Administration, South Delhi has created a Surveillance Hub using all kinds of human resource: Doctors for Medical Care; Counsellor for calming the patients and reducing panic; Tehsildar for local knowledge and contact tracing; and, Police for local intelligence. 

Handling the migrant labour has been a task. Their number kept on swelling and the District guidelines kept on changing depending on MHA guidelines. The District Administration, South Delhi maintained food supplies, provided transportation and shelter and ensured social distancing. The inter-state movement through railways, buses and private vehicles was monitored, law and order maintained, screening centers set up and logistics kept under control. 

More than 150,000 have been sent home; 2,000 volunteers are on the ground; 10,000 families having no ration card were given ration; and, a total of over 20 million meals have been fed. The District Administration, South Delhi is fully equipped to handle the crisis and is making its best efforts to reduce the spread.

Because the warriors who are currently doing their duty over time are doing their duty of 17 to 18 hours, and the corona of those who find themselves feeling unwell during this time I feel completely unable to think of the common people at this time.

If you’re having problems, try to correct them by ensuring that they are correct. Well, we are warriors and we will keep up our duty. I was just telling my sadness through you.

  100. The support that Sikkim House got in managing its COVID patients from south district Administration side is enormous. Amidst mid night at times I have called Mr BM Mishra, when some new Covid patient used to be detected in our Bhawan, he would respond and make all necessary arrangements to tackle the crisis. Because of the timely support of south District administration we could successfully control the COVID spread in one of our building.

    I’m very happy I foսnd this during my search for somethіng regarding
    this.
