India fully prepared to fight Covid-19: Harsh Vardhan

In the wake of 29 positive coronavirus cases in India, the government has planned to put in place a multi-pronged strategy to tackle the spread of the virus. The Union Health Ministry on Thursday asked states to form rapid response teams at the district, block and village levels. It said that cases of community transmission have been observed. All foreign nationals are being screened at most airports from Wednesday evening. The process should stabilise by Thursday with additional staff being provided by the states, the ministry said in a statement.
