The Jharkhand government will conduct a survey of social and economic conditions of families of those who died due to Covid-19 during the second wave of the pandemic in a bid to plan welfare schemes, officials said on Sunday.
In a letter addressed to deputy commissioners of all 24 districts in the state, health secretary Arun Kumar Singh directed them to prepare a special team for surveying families of 3,983 residents who died of Covid-19 from March 15 to June 9.

During the survey, the teams will interact with the kin of Covid victims and seek details about the members in the family of the diseased, their source of income, health condition of the family members and other information that will help the government extend support to the needy, many of whom have lost their sole bread-earners, health officials said.
Ranchi: The spread of Covid-19 in Jharkhand’s rural areas has been negligible during the ongoing second wave contrary to the fears that the virus has made inroads into the remote places infecting scores of villagers, a state government survey has found.
The Intensive Public Health Survey (IPHS) of the health department ended on Saturday and was carried out from May 25 using Rapid Antigen Test kits.
The virus had wreaked havoc in the state throughout April with the daily average cases being reported in four-digit figures (new cases) and triple-digit figures (deaths). The majority of the hospitals in the state’s urban centres virtually ran out of beds, triggering fears of a rapid spread of the virus in the rural areas. Concerned over the situation, the government rolled out a mega door-to-door health survey in the rural areas coupled with rapid antigen testing for early detection and treatment.
