The Ministry of Health defines COVID-19 containment zones as the area where a number of positive cases of coronavirus are found. Delhi had three hotspots all of which turned into containment zones as the disease spread rapidly within the community. “The cluster containment strategy would be to contain the disease within a defined geographic area by detecting cases in the nascent stage, breaking the chain of transmission and preventing its spread to new areas. This would include geographic quarantine, social distancing measures, enhanced active surveillance, testing all suspected cases, isolation of cases, quarantine of contacts and risk communication to create awareness among the public on preventive public health measures,” said the Ministry of Health. The difference between a hotspot and a containment zone is that the former are not seized but largely monitored for suspected cases. However, when a place is declared as containment zones, the areas are completely sealed, and no outdoor or indoor movements are allowed until permitted by the authorities. Delhi’s Nizamuddin Markaz responsible for most cases Delhi’s Nizamuddin emerged as a hotspot after nearly 1,800 people had assembled at the Markaz building there for a religious congregation earlier in March. “Most of the cases came from Tablighis Jammat from their mosque in New Delhi’s Nizamuddin, with some of them related to or came into contact with them,” said Health official. According to the Delhi Health Department, among the total 576 cases, 333 cases are from the Nizamuddin Markaz, with four new cases in the last 24 hours getting reported from there. The positive cases in Delhi have increased dramatically since people were evacuated last week from the Markaz building in Nizamuddin area where over 2,000 people from different parts of the world and country had assembled for a Tablighi Jamaat religious congregation. Saudi Arabia returned women infected the whole Dilshad Garden locality The northeast Delhi area Dilshad Garden came in limelight when a woman who travelled from Saudi Arabia tested positive for coronavirus. She also infected her daughter along with two other relatives in Jahangirpuri. And when that wasn’t it, she also came in contact with a ‘mohalla’ clinic doctor in Maujpur, who was detected positive and believed to have come in contact with hundreds of others. South Moti Bagh slum declared containment zone after sanitisation worker tested positive The South Moti Bagh slum in South Delhi turned into another containment zone after a sanitation worker at AIIMS tested positive. The fear of coronavirus spread like wildfire in the densely populated area, and authorities decided to act fast. The area has five routes that lead to the slum, and all entry and exit of vehicles along with pedestrians at four routes have been fully locked. The authorities have left only one route open for movement of sanitisation workers who disinfect the area at least thrice every day. Around 1,000 families live in South Moti Bagh’s slum area. And its “buffer zone” includes another slum, a Gurudwara, a temple, a 24x7 petrol pump and a market. Delhi government to conduct rapid testing The Delhi’s Health Minister Satyendra Jain declared that in the upcoming days more random sampling would be done in areas which have a higher number of cases. “We have ordered one lakh <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/what-is-coronavirus-rapid-testing-and-how-does-it-work-and-where/articleshow/75042236.cms">rapid testing kits</a> which produce results in 10-15 minutes. These kits will be first used in the two hotspot zones of Dilshad Garden and Nizamuddin. Currently, screening is on in Nizamuddin. As soon as the kits come we will begin testing also”, said the minister. India, which has 5,745 cases in all, is trying hard to stop the epidemic from spreading from Stage 2 to Stage 3 which is when community spread will be rampant. As of now, the government is hoping to arrest the disease within these hotspots and ensure unabated spreading does not occur. It is also considering extending the 21 day lockdown which is expected to end on April 14.
