Special emphasis has been laid to train the healthcare professionals particularly in home isolation tracking, micro containment zone testing and surveillance, symptomatic identification, subsequent referral to higher medical facilities, and operationalization of Panchayat-level COVID care centres.

Further, the Health Department also organized various trainings on oxygen consumption and management for ICU staff, besides imparting training to hospital-level technicians to suitably operate various oxygen generation plants.
