PANAJI: The Health Department has set up a smart testing kiosk each at Patradevi and Keri to collect samples from people entering Goa by road.
Smart testing kiosks are being installed under CSR. The kiosks are expected to facilitate collection of samples safely at these spots including the border check posts, industrial estates, Panaji Urban Health centre, Airport and Mormugao Port Trust. This expansion of the sample taking facility would further decentralise the process and help in safe collection of samples.
Meanwhile, Health Secretary Nila Mohanan has informed the State Executive Committee that the dept has started working on the vector borne disease control programme and has issued necessary directions for intensive fogging and other measures.
