Kolkata: Senior administrative officers in Purulia took up the move of visiting houses of Covid patients to encourage grassroots level workers in carrying out on a regular basis oxygen level monitoring of the patients in home isolation.

District Magistrate Rahul Majumder along with other officials visited houses of Covid patients, where they are in home isolation, on Saturday.

The move was taken to ensure that the workers in the grassroot level do not suffer from any stigma in visiting the houses of Covid patients on a regular basis.
