    Guidelines for Surveillance, Containment and Caution[As per Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) Order No. 40-3/2020-DM-I (A)

    dated 25,h November, 2020]

    The country is at a critical juncture in its fight against COVID-19. The number of active cases has declined steadily over the last two months,

    from over 10 lakhs, on September 18, 2020, to less than 4.5 lakhs now. However, over the last few weeks, the number of new cases has been

    rising in some States and UTs. The confluence of certain factors, viz., the recent festival season and the onset of winter, and the laxity in

    observance of the COVID-19 guidelines issued by Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in certain parts of the country pose the risk of the situation

    becoming aggravated, thus putting a strain on the health infrastructure. In some States and UTs, the spike observed in the number of new cases

    has already led to re-imposition of restrictions such as Night Curfew, limitations on number of persons in gatherings, restricted timings of markets

    etc.

    In the above context, with a view to consolidating the substantial gains that have been achieved against the spread of COVID-19, and to fully

    overcome the pandemic, the need of the hour is to maintain caution and strictly follow the prescribed containment strategy, focussed on

    surveillance, containment and strict observance of the guidelines.

    Over the last few months, economic and other activities have been opened up in a phased manner, with the stipulation that the prescribed

    Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) be scrupulously followed. The essence behind graded reopening and progressive resumption of activities

    is to move ahead. However, there is a concomitant need to exercise due care. Every citizen must adopt COVID-19 appropriate behaviour, so

    as to ensure that the resumption of activities is successful and gains made in the management of the pandemic are not negated.

    The following guidelines are issued to be effective from 1st December 2020.

    COVID appropriate behavior

    1. State/ UT Governments shall take all necssary measures to promote COVID-19 appropriate behaviour. Strict enforcement of wearing of face

    masks, hand hygiene and social distancing must be ensured.

    2. Wearing of face masks is an essential preventive measure. In order to enforce this core requirement, States and UTs may consider

    administrative actions, including imposition of appropriate fines, on persons not wearing face masks in public and work spaces.

    3. Observance of social distancing in crowded places, especially in markets, weekly bazaars and public transport, is also critical for containing

    the spread of the infection. Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) will issue a SOP to regulate crowds in market places, which shall be

    strictly enforced by States and UTs.

    4. SOPs for regulating travel in aircrafts, trains and metro rails are already in place, which shall be strictly enforced. States and UTs shall issue

    necessary guidelines for regulating travel in other modes of public transport, e.g., buses, boats etc., and ensure that these are strictly complied

    with.

    5. The National Directives for COVID-19 Management, as specified in Annexure I, shall be strictly followed throughout the country.

    Surveillance and Containment

    6. Effective demarcation of Containment Zones, in vulnerable and high incidence areas, is key to breaking the chain of transmission and

    controlling the spread of the virus. Containment Zones shall be carefully demarcated by the district authorities, at the micro level, taking into

    consideration the guidelines prescribed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) in this regard. The list of Containment Zones will

    be notified on the websites by the respective District Collectors and by the States/ UTs. This list will also be shared with MoHFW.

    7. Within the demarcated Containment Zones, containment measures, as prescribed by MoHFW, shall be scrupulously followed, as under:

    i. Only essential activities shall be allowed in the Containment Zones.

    ii. There shall be strict perimeter control to ensure that there is no movement of people in or out of these zones, except for medical emergencies

    and for maintaining supply of essential goods and services.

    iii.There shall be intensive house-to-house surveillance by surveillance teams formed for the purpose.

    iv. Testing shall be carried out as per prescribed protocol.

    v. Listing of contacts shall be carried out in respect of all persons found positive, along with their tracking, identification, quarantine and follow up

    of contacts for 14 days (80% of contacts to be traced in 72 hours).

    vi. Quick isolation of COVID-19 patients shall be ensured in treatment facilities/ home (subject to fulfilling the home isolation guidelines).

    vii. Clinical interventions, as prescribed, shall be administered.

    viii.Surveillance for ILI/ SARI cases shall be carried out in health facilities or outreach mobile units or through fever clinics in buffer zones.

    ix. Awareness shall be created in communities on COVID-19 appropriate behaviour.

    8. It shall be the responsibility of local district, police and municipal authorities to ensure that the prescribed Containment

    measures are strictly followed. State/ UT Governments shall ensure accountability of the officers concerned in this regard.

    Strict adherence to the prescribed SOPs

    9. All activities have been permitted outside Containment Zones, except for the following, which have been permitted with certain restrictions:

    i. International air travel of passengers, as permitted by MHA.

    ii. Cinema halls and theatres, with upto 50% capacity.

    iii. Swimming pools, only for training of sports persons.

    iv. Exhibition halls, only for business to business (B2B) purposes.

    v. Social/ religious/ sports/ entertainment/ educational/ cultural/ religious gatherings, with upto a maximum of 50% of the hall capacity, with a

    ceiling of200 persons in closed spaces; and keeping of the size of the ground/ space in view, in open spaces.

    However, based on their assessment of the situation, State/ UT Governments may reduce the ceiling to 100 persons or less, in closed spaces.

    10. SOPs have been prescribed for various activities. These include: movement by passenger trains; air travel; metro trains; schools; higher

    educational institutions; hotels and restaurants; shopping malls, multiplexes and entertainment parks; yoga centres and gymnasiums; assemblies

    and congregations, etc.

    11. For ease of reference, the list of activity wise SOPs with their web-links is given at Annexure II.

    12. The SOPs shall be strictly enforced by the authorities concerned, who shall be responsible for their strict observance.

    Local restrictions

    13. States and UTs, based on their assessment of the situation, may impose local restrictions, with a view to contain the spread of COVID-19 such

    as night curfew. However, State/ UT Governments shall not impose any local lockdown (State/ District/ sub-division/City level), outside the

    containment zones, without prior consultation with the Central Government.

    14. States and UTs also need to enforce social distancing in offices. In cities, where the weekly Case Positivity Rate is in more than 10%, States

    and UTs concerned shall consider implementing staggered office timings and other suitable measures, with a view to reduce the number of

    employees attending office at the same time, thereby ensuring social distancing.

    15. There shall be no restriction on inter-Stale and intra-State movement of persons and goods including those for cross land-border trade under

    Treaties with neighbouring countries. No separate permission/ approval/ e-permit will be required for such movements.

    Protection of vulnerable persons

    16. Persons above 65 years of age, persons with co-morbidities, pregnant women, and children below the age of 10 years are advised to stay

    at home, except for essential and health purposes.

    Use of Aarogya Setu

    17. Aarogya Setu enables early identification of potential risk of infection, and thus acts as a shield for individuals and the community.

    18. With a view to ensuring safety in offices and work places, employers on best effort basis should ensure that Aarogya Setu is installed by all

    employees having compatible mobile phones.

    19. Organizations and Business entities with 50 or more employees are encouraged to avail the Aarogya Setu Open API Service (https://

    openapi.aarogyasetu.gov.in). OpenAPl feature will facilitate Organisations and employees to return to work in a COVID 19 risk free environment.

    20. District authorities may advise individuals to install the Aarogya Setu application on compatible mobile phones and regularly update their

    health status on the app. This will facilitate timely provision of medical attention to those individuals who are at risk.

    Strict enforcement of the guidelines

    21. State/ UT Governments shall not dilute these guidelines issued under the Disaster Management Act, 2005, in any manner.

    22. For the enforcement of social distancing, State/ UT Governments may, as far as possible, use the provisions of Section 144 of the Criminal

    Procedure Code (CrPC) of 1973.

    23. All the District Magistrates shall strictly enforce the above measures.

    Penal provisions

    24. Any person violating these measures will be liable to be proceeded against as per the provisions of Section 51 to 60 of the Disaster

    Management Act, 2005, besides legal action under Section 188 of the IPC, and other legal provisions as applicable. Extracts of these penal

    provisions are at Annexure III.
