Four cities — Jaipur, Indore, Chennai and Bengaluru — could serve as possible role models for other urban centres in handling the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Centre has organized meetings between different municipal bodies to share their experiences in two broad aspects of Covid19 management: effective practises in handling a very high number of positive cases and keeping the mortality rates low.
It identified Jaipur and Indore metropolitan areas for innovate ways of tackling a high caseload and Chennai and Bengaluru as examples of large cities that are able to keep their mortality rates low.
