Union Ministers To Submit Reports Regarding COVID 19 To PMO
Union ministers will submit a daily report to the PMO on the steps being taken across the country to rein in the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Ministers have to submit the reports of the measures being taken to quarantine people, health care facilities and availability of essential commodities amid the social distancing.
The exercise is being undertaken after PM Narendra Modi announced a 21-day lockdown.
According to sources, the decision was taken in the cabinet meeting earlier this week.
For larger states and those with a bigger population, two or more ministers have been assigned to follow up with DMs or DCs on the ground situation daily.
