Pathankot, March 20
Pathankot district has topped the rankings in Punjab's fight against Covid. Based on certain indicators, the Department of Health and Family Welfare has put the district on the top followed by Hoshiarpur and Gurdaspur.
The final results were prepared on the basis of the number of people tested per lakh population, positivity rate, deaths and vaccination rate.
Ludhiana, Faridkot and Rupnagar have been placed at the fourth, fifth and sixth spots, respectively.
"When the virus had just started spreading we were quick to launch a 'mask and hand sanitisation' awareness drive. Officials anticipated the second surge early on and hence wearing of masks was made mandatory. We have now started another drive wherein residents are being asked to come forward to get vaccinated. We are concentrating on public health measures, including the curve flattening," said Deputy Commissioner Sanyam Aggarwal.
"We have put in place a zero-tolerance policy as far as wearing of masks is concerned," he said.
