Identified as an aspirational district, Shravasti's fight against the pandemic was not an easy task for the District Health Department. The district has a large migrant population that returned from metropolitan cities when the second swell started gripping the nation.

The medical officials focused on the migrant population and surveillance committees were constituted to collect information on them. Health teams were sent to collect samples and personnel deputed at the Integrated Command and Control Centre took regular feedbacks from patients in home isolation.

Following the 3T rule of testing, tracing and treating, also helped in curbing the spread. Emphasis was laid on conducting RT-PCR sample tests and rapid vaccination, especially among the rural population. Further, preparations to combat the probable third wave are underway as numerous PICUs have been set up and door-to-door surveys launched.

Caution to still be observed
