Taking a cue from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) s success in tackling the second wave of Covid, Karnataka issued directives to set up Ward Decentralised Triage and Emergency Response (DETER) Committees for Covid management in all 198 wards in Bengaluru based on the Mumbai model. The ward level committees will have officials of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), ward committee members, government officers, volunteer RWAs and civil society organisations. This will help in the decentralisation and provide better supervision for ward-level Covid governance, read the directives issued by the Revenue Department s principal secretary, N. Manjunath Prasad. The directive also stated that ward level Community Triage is seen as a successful intervention in many cities including Mumbai. Currently there is a delay in informing the test results to the patient due to the centralised ICMR process followed by BU number generation process, the directive notes.
