#Covid19Chennai

Corporation Health workers visited me today. They are on a door-to-door survey across #Chennai to fight Corona. What they ask:

- Name, age of all members of household
- Contact number
- If anyone in the house has travelled recently and where

(1/n)
What they ask:

- If anyone has BP, sugar, etc
- If there are pregnant women
- If anyone showing symptoms of fever, cough, respiratory issues

It takes just 5 minutes. They trust you and write down whatever you say. So Please Be Honest and report symptoms/travel history. (2/n)
#GCCSurvey #Covid19Chennai

The Akka who visited us was an Anganwadi teacher. Wore a mask. They carry ID cards - you can ask for it. Thousands of them have been assigned specific streets to take care of.

Ok now - What happens with this data? (3/n)
#GCCSurvey #Covid19Chennai

What happens next?

- Elders with BP/sugar, pregnant women, those with travel history etc will be monitored through phone regularly
- It’s likely that the same worker who visited you will call you. Because he/she is “in-charge” of your Street

(4/n)

If you reported symptoms, medical teams will call and guide you on further steps. They might ask you visit a hospital

This is just a survey - NOT COVID TESTING or Screening. However, it might lead to testing later based on monitoring/symptoms
