Days after sending coronavirus disease (Covid-19) control teams to northeast India, the central government is ready to review the ground situation regarding the pandemic management in the region. Central teams, based on whose assessment the government will suggest remedial measures, were earlier sent to those states showing an increasing trend in infection. The two-member high-level team to these states consisted of a clinician and a public health expert. They were expected to monitor the overall implementation of Covid-19 management, especially in testing, surveillance, and containment operations. Among these six states were Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, and Manipur -- all of which have shown a recent uptick in coronavirus cases.
