New Delhi: Multi-disciplinary central teams have been deployed in 10 states which are reporting either an increasing number of omicron and Covid cases or a slow vaccination pace, according to a Union Health Ministry office memorandum.

As per the document, these 10 states are Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Mizoram, Karnataka, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Punjab.

“In view of rapid surge in cases and deaths because of Covid, as reported by various news channels, the state governments, and noted in internal reviews, it has been seen that the number of omicron cases has emerged in some states.

“It has also been observed that the pace of Covid vaccination in these states is less than the national average. In wake of this situation, a decision has been taken to deploy multi-disciplinary central teams to 10 identified states some of which are either reporting increasing number of omicron and Covid cases or slow vaccination pace, to aid the efforts of the state and district administration for management of Covid,” the memorandum stated.

These teams would be stationed in the states for three to five days, and they would work along with the state health authorities, it said.

The teams will specifically look into areas of contact-tracing, including surveillance and containment operations, and Covid testing, including sending of adequate samples from clusters to the INSACOG network for genome sequencing, the memo stated.

They will also look into enforcement of Covid-appropriate behaviour, availability of hospital beds, sufficient logistics, including ambulances, ventilators, and medical oxygen, and the Covid vaccination progress.

The state-level central teams will assess the situation, suggest remedial actions and submit a report every evening by 7 pm on public health activities being undertaken, besides submitting the same to the state governments, the memo stated.
