CM directed officials to implement the ‘Bhilwara Model’ in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Churu, Tonk, Jhunjhunu, Banswara, and other districts to control the situation.In the meeting, CM said that curfew should be strictly imposed in 38 areas and no person, including the government employees, should be allowed to either enter or exit the curfew areas. CM Gehlot asked for installing cameras for effective online monitoring of corona infection in hotspot regions. This would help in the strict monitoring of the movement of people. He stated that drone cameras should be used for effective monitoring and action should be initiated against those violating the protocol of social distancing.He also instructed officials for cluster sampling in corona infected areas in the walled city. Proper arrangements should be made for this by dividing the entire area into 30 clusters and 30 samples should be collected from each cluster. Doing this, most of the infection in the area could be detected and then it would be easy to take effective steps in checking spread of the disease.
