It has been four months since the first case of Novel Coronavirus was detected in Ahmedabad. With time, there has been a sudden rise in the number of cases in the city. Currently, the total number of COVID-19 positive cases totals up to 22,282, whereas almost 17,568 amdavadis have defeated this and have come out as an absolute winner. To make sure that there is a drop in the COVID-19 cases, Gujarat Government and AMC have come up with the concept of Micro Containment Zones. Before knowing what these zones are, let’s know about the present condition of the city.

Earlier when the cases started rising suddenly, there was chaos among the people and the Government too. The higher officials were trying their best to save the city and its citizens from the deadly virus. Earlier people weren’t aware of how dangerous COVID-19 could be but with proper circulation of information from the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), people now have proper knowledge about it.
The AMC has taken several essential steps in controlling the number of coronavirus cases in the city. Some of these are as follows:
Foremost, AMC has opted for the EPIC approach. The term epic refers to E – Enhanced Testing, P – Proactive Detection, I – Intensive Surveillance, and C – Corona Checkposts.
To ensure that each and every citizen’s problems are heard, AMC initiated a 24*7 helpline – 155303.
To your surprise, Ahmedabad was the first city in the nation to mark distancing circles around shops.
AMC is making use of the latest technology in the form of drones and GPS applications to keep an eye on the home quarantined patients.
To make sure that people get vegetables at their doorsteps, AMC initiated the Vegetable on Wheels.
Around all these negativity, there was positive news for Ahmedabad when it got the approval for plasma therapy on COVID-19 patients.
There are almost 10 institutional quarantine centers formed in every zone of the city. Some of them are operational while the others are ready to be operated.
For patients who hardly have any symptoms and look healthy termed as Asymptomatic patients are shifted to the Samras hostel. It has the capacity of handling 2000 patients at once.
There has been the deployment of mobile testing vans in each and every zone of the city. Presently, a total of 30 teams have been deployed for testing each corner of Ahmedabad.
Wearing a mask has been mandatory; otherwise, you’ll attract a hefty fine. Anyone caught without wearing a mask in the public place will be fined from Rs 1000 to Rs 5000
There has been a free supply of basic items like milk and vegetables for the economically backward people of the city.
Last but not least, AMC has made Cluster or Micro Containment Zones in the localized hot spots. These zones are supplied with all the essentials items.
What are Micro Containment Zones?
Table of Contents
It was back in the month of June when Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) identified the Micro Containment Zones.
According to Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), Micro Containment Zones refers to the small residential localities all over the city. The idea behind these zones is to only isolate the small localities in each ward rather than putting the whole ward under the containment zone. A number of areas in Ahmedabad have been named as the micro containment zones.
Anyone who lives in this area will not be allowed to move out to work or for any other purpose. But they will be allowed to acquire essential services between 7 am and 7 pm. The entry and exit points of these micro-containment zones will remain closed.
Last but not least, these micro containment zones will be updated as and when required. Presently, there are a total of 190 micro containment zones in the city.
How Will AMC Find These Micro Containment Zones?
The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has initiated the process of intense door to door surveillance in order to detect new cases. With this, they’ll be able to know the number of people affected by the disease and further label them as the Micro Containment Zones.
Suppose, while conducting the rapid COVID-19 test more than 2 or 3 people are found to be corona positive, then your apartment or society will be labelled as the micro containment zone.
