Nagpur: The Ministry of Health and Administration Division finally decided to conduct a second survey to examine the population seropocity in Nagpur Regency.
The previous survey was scheduled to be held on March 202, but was delayed because of the second wave.
It is very possible to start in the last week of August.
This is generally done after the case graph touches the baseline.
Divisional Prajaka Commissioner Lavangare-Varma has now explained that the serosurvey will be held as early as possible.
Administration will take blood samples of people from Nagpur City and the district, and will test them for IGG antibodies, which show exposure to the Coronavirus novel.
The first Serosurvey Full-Cledged was carried out in October 2020, where nearly 50% of the prevalence of Covid-19 was found in the people of Nagpur City.
The sample size of the previous survey was 4,000 but the government had decided to significantly increase this time.
“We will do the second serosurvey soon.
We have appointed Nodal officers to look after them.
The Microbiology Department of the Government of Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Nagpur will conduct a survey,” Varma said.
Dr.
Uday Narlawar from GMCH Nagpur, which is a nodal officer for the October Serosurvey, will lead the second survey too.

“Last time, the results took about a month.
But this time they will come early,” Dr.
Narwar.
