Amidst the growing concern of coronavirus infection reaching remote villages in the country, Chhattisgarh has good news to share. Over 10 thousand villages in the State are completely infection free as the virus has either not been able to reach here or those infected have already recovered.
At present there is not a single Covid-19 case in theses villages, this was possible due to the prompt measures initiated by the Chhattisgarh Government to prevent infection from reaching these villages.
With the outbreak of second wave of Corona in the urban areas of the state, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel had directed that all necessary steps should be taken to prevent infection from reaching rural areas. Following this directive, quarantine centers set up in villages during the first wave were again made operational with stronger arrangements than before.
