The objective of CARUNA Initiative:
The officers have set up teams in sync with the 11 empowered groups created by the Narendra Modi government to tackle all issues related to the COVID-19 outbreak. The teams will assist the government in specific areas like medical emergency management plan, availability of hospitals, isolations and quarantine facilities, disease surveillance and testing and critical care training.
These teams are also working on supporting the availability of essential medical equipment such as masks, gloves and ventilators, augmenting human resources, facilitating supply chain and logistics for necessary items such as food and medicine, and also working on economic and welfare measures, information dissemination, public awareness, technology and data management issues relating to the lockdown.
