Indore: Already stung with the growing number of positive cases, the administration has decided to dig a trifle deeper. The authorities will now take samples from people living outside the containment areas. This was revealed by the district collector Manish Singh on Saturday.
Singh said not only non-containment areas, people living in buffer zones will also come under test ambit. The sampling will also be done in rural areas. For this purpose, over 10 teams have been formed after proper training. The process will start soon.
Singh said the widespread sampling will help the administration and health department to take necessary steps.
