Summary:
Gurugram: Taking cognisance of a large number of active COVID-19 patients in Gurugram, the District Administration has decided to form rapid response teams (RRTs) for monitoring the health of those infected by the novel coronavirus. There are close to 2,900 COVID-19 patients that are presently under treatment. As per the plan, details of the oxygen level of the patients, health complications, energy levels and medications will be tracked for six days a week by these teams. In July, the Gurugram District Administration had started a communication service wherein it used to interact with home isolated COVID-19 patients through online medium. However, with home isolated COVID-19 patients now nearing 2,600, senior officials of Gurugram District Administration realised the need of forming a dedicated team to look after these patients..
