NASHIK: The health department authorities have decided to collect swab samples of the people even on Sundays to facilitate testing as the cases are increasing stupendously.
Of the 1,925 fresh cases reported on Thursday, 428 are from the rural areas..
“Now that the cases are rising, it is imperative to get the test results early, and hence, the swab samples would be collected even on Sundays. This will ensure swab collection at the Nashik civil hospital, across all the Rural Hospitals (RH) and Sub-District Hospitals (SDH),” said civil surgeon Dr Ashok Thorat. As the cases have started increasing, the primary health centres, RH and SDH, have started witnessing a huge rush on Mondays for swab collection. The rural health office has also decided to extend the swab collection to sub-centres.
