Covid-19 dashboard for easy access to information

Our Correspondent
Kohima, April 20 (EMN): Nagaland has introduced a Covid-19 dashboard to keep citizens up-to-date with the latest information and coronavirus-related news in the state.

Following Governor RN Ravi’s suggestion, a Covid-19 war room headed by the chief secretary was formed.

Accordingly, a Covid-19 dashboard for Nagaland has been created. The dashboard aims “to bring together official Covid-related information, which is easy to access and understand,” Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio tweeted.

In the dashboard, users are provided with information about total test samples sent from Nagaland, and the results.

Information of total stranded migrants being assisted at the state-level as well as help extended to citizens of Nagaland outside the state has been provided.

Users can also see the district-wise status of medical facilities including total beds available for both Covid-19 hospitals and isolation wards. Besides the state-level and district-wise facilities, it indicates the total number of quarantine centres that have been earmarked at the village level.

In addition, important contact details, advisories and notifications, government orders, Covid-related awareness visual representations are available.

On April 14, the governor, in a weekly review meeting with the state’s top officials, had suggested to immediately set up a Covid-19 war room—for an effective holistic response to the existing preventive protocols in combating Covid-19.

Chief Secretary Temjen Toy also informed on the same day that the chief secretary’s war room on Covid-19 had been set up in his office where an integrated information system would be managed, analysed, and decisions would be taken on prevention and management of Covid-19 in the state.
