At the end of April 2020, there had already been three million cases of COVID-19 in the world pandemic. Chhattisgarh might expect 90,000 diagnosed cases of COVID-19 in the end. The first step taken in March was to ensure a simple checklist of activities that needed to continue. Handbills were given with the basic information on the symptoms and what to do in the community. In urban areas, the lockdown affected the poorer section of the society, especially who are not having BPL card and no other means of availing necessary eatables. Issues that arose affecting regular activities such as tuberculosis and immunization. Residents of informal settlements are also vulnerable during any COVID-19 responses. Frontline workers such as Mitanins in the community are an important asset in the capacity building and preparedness strategies.
截至 2020 年 4 月底，全球大流行中已有 300 万例 COVID-19 病例。恰蒂斯加尔邦最终可能会有 9 万例 COVID-19 确诊病例。3 月采取的第一步措施是确保有一个简单的活动清单，这些活动需要继续进行。传单上写有关于症状的基本信息以及在社区中应该做什么。在城市地区，封锁影响了社会中较贫困的阶层，特别是那些没有 BPL 卡和没有其他途径获得必要食物的人。这影响了常规活动，如结核病和免疫接种。在任何 COVID-19 应对措施中，非正规住区的居民也很脆弱。社区中的 Mitanins 等一线工作人员是能力建设和备灾战略中的重要资产。
