The Central teams were deputed to Maharashtra to coordinate the response to the coronavirus pandemic in Satara, Sangli and Aurangabad districts.
The teams found less than satisfactory perimeter control and lack of active surveillance in COVID-19 cases.
Efforts at surveillance and contact tracing were found to be sub-optimal in Buldhana, Satara, Aurangabad and Nanded.
The team from Bhandara has reported that most cases are being reported from outside of containment zones.
The ministry has been actively engaging with the state government in coordinating and collaborating efforts towards preparedness and response to the pandemic.
