Free RTPCR camp for Household Staff of Shivaji Nagar

On 24th April, 2021, I had Organised RTPCR free testing camp at Shivaji Nagar. The testing was done by NMC. 

It was organised only for Housemaids, Drivers and Security Guards of the locality.

First time NMC did this in one specific locality.

Out of 57 Rtpcar tests done, 10 came positive.

That comes to 17% of household staff who despite being positive were going to work daily, meeting people.

Imagine their ability to be a superspreaders.

Camps to conduct RTPCR should be organised.

Can camps be organised by NMC wherein housing apartments in a single lane (with limit in numbers) be asked to conduct RTPCR of their maids/drivers/household helps/guards? Unknown carriers might get sorted out. 

Validity of test report can be fixed in terms of days. I think every bit of feasible +ve steps will help to reduce the spread of Covid. 

Corporators of the respective areas should use their funds for such purpose if required rather than wasting on monuments and other unconstructive/easily avoidable just eye candy, cheap appeasing works. 

This way tax payers money will be used for tgeir own and societies benefit (for a change). Even companies under CSR can help.
