TWO SURVEYS

The timelines had been spelt out in a document issued by the Directorate General of Health Services on June 22.

It had committed the state, among other things, to carry out house-to-house screening in the containment zones by June 30 and in the rest of Delhi by July 6.

It had also stipulated a serological survey of 20,000 people to be carried out between June 27 and July 10.

The state government officials had on June 24 given a lukewarm response to the plans initially, saying that this kind of an initiative would need all stakeholders to work together and they had not been kept in the loop on this.

However, that reaction was later tempered with a display of willingness to go along.
