With the number of COVID-19 cases rising, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is again facing the challenge of self-test kits. Currently, BMC doesn’t have any mechanism in place which can take account of these kits.
During the review meeting on Friday, BMC commissioner I S Chahal ordered officials to take daily review of self-test kits. He also asked officers to set up a mechanism at the ward level to keep track of the kits. “The procedure must be in place under the guidance of Additional Municipal Commissioner Dr Sanjeev Kumar to get statistics of self-test kits,” Chahal said.
